 ## Recommended Requirements
 
+It has always been a core goal to ensure that ExpressionEngine is usable on a broadly diverse and accessible range of machines by a broad and diverse range of people. 
+
 **For the best experience**, this version of ExpressionEngine should use:
 
 - [PHP](https://www.php.net/) 7.4 **OR** 8.2, running with [PHP-FPM](https://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.php)
-- [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) 5.6 or newer, [including MySQL 8](https://u.expressionengine.com/article/mysql-8-and-expressionengine-tips-for-the-trailblazers) **OR** [Percona](https://www.percona.com/software/mysql-database/percona-server) 5.6 or newer
-
-PHP 8.3 is fully supported though there may be third-party add-ons that are not updated as rapidly as EE is. As well, there does not seem to be noticeable performance improvement from PHP 8.2 to 8.3.
-
-[MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/) has long been a drop-in replacement for MySQL and has been used as the database by many EE sites. MariaDB often appears more performant than MySQL; however, there are a few edge cases and queries where the opposite is true. with any database option, testing, and fine-tuning the server settings as needed will give you optimal results.
+- [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) 5.6 or newer [including MySQL 8](https://u.expressionengine.com/article/mysql-8-and-expressionengine-tips-for-the-trailblazers) **OR** [Percona](https://www.percona.com/software/mysql-database/percona-server) 5.6 or newer

+PHP 8.3 is fully supported, though there may be third-party add-ons that are not updated as rapidly as EE is. We also note there does not seem to be any noticeable performance improvement for EE from PHP 8.2 to 8.3.
 
-The developers recognize that not only the wide range of servers setups, but also that sometimes we're not able to build our site on the machine of our dreams. Besides, no one likes it when they're forced to update an underlying tool unnecessarily.

As is true with any database option, testing and fine-tuning the server settings as needed will give you optimal results.
 
 While ExpressionEngine achieves compatibility with the newest releases of PHP and MySQL, there's also a lot of effort made to keep EE stable and running properly with older versions. [See the chart](#php-version-requirements-across-ee-versions) below for full details of EE and PHP version compatibility.
 
 ## The Bare Minimums
 
+The developers recognize that not only are there a wide range of server setups, but also that sometimes we're not able to build our site on the machine of our dreams. Besides, no one likes it when they're forced to update an underlying tool unnecessarily.
+
 If you are stuck in an older environment, ExpressionEngine _can_ run on PHP 7.2.5+ with 32M of memory, and MySQL 5.6.4+. 
 
-PHP-FPM is also optional, but [tends to handily outperform mod_php](https://www.cloudways.com/blog/php-fpm-on-cloud/). That said, running older versions not only hurts performance—increasing the cost of your website—but also puts your site **at risk of security vulnerabilities**. The PHP Group stopped providing support for PHP 5.6 [on December 31, 2018](https://php.net/supported-versions.php) and for PHP 7.1 [on December 1, 2019](https://www.php.net/eol.php). Oracle also ceased providing support for MySQL 5.5 at the same time.
