can't start mariadb on MacOS

Through my research, even though other users have encountered similar issues, none of the solutions that worked for them work for me. But I have a hypothesis why my issue occurs.

First, here's the error returned:

When I pulled mariadb from docker, I had to specify platform: linux/x86_64 in docker-compose-org.yml, only after was my installation successful.But now I can't start mariadb even from the docker application itself. Could the 2 problems be related? Thank you!

Answer Answered by Daniel Black in this comment.

It would seem likely. Would your MacOS happen to running on a M1 or ARM64 processor?

By forcing to linux/x86_64 its running though qemu, which does fine on CPU instructions, however the error here is there's some linux only pthread interfaces and errno=22, EINVAL, is MacOS not recognizing it.

This is same as: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6083

Take a step back and try to resolve/report (https://jira.mariadb.org) the issue on the arm64 version under MacOS.
