I confirm this was the best fix for me, with only one addition, I got into some
issues beforehand because journalctl was only showing the warning about
"mysqld" being deprecated in favor of "mariadbd" as a potential 'error', the
full change was:

sed -i 's/mysqld/mysqldbd/g' ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc
rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data
akonadictl start
