My brother has found a github issue with Ubuntu WSL that produced the same AIO error with MySQL.

Here is what worked for me:

sudo apt remove --purge *mysql*
sudo apt remove --purge *mariadb*
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean

Notice my edit in the OP that I did a complete reinstall of WSL and Ubuntu, so it kept happening on the fresh install as well.

Also notice that this completely purged every data I had.

In short, this is WSL issue, not an issue with MariaDB.

The issue on github:
