As the title says, why is the DB Type forced to be MariaDB?

The only other option is MariaDB via mysqli (Experimental)

Is there a way around this or do I need to install something else to add support for a different type?

I downloaded the latest Drupal CMS 2.0 which is 2.1.1 currently. 

I normally use Percona Server for MySQL.

i  have see this happent with CMS 2.0 . it tends to prefer MariaDB due to compatibility with newer drivers.If you are using Percona/MySQL, it might still work with some config tweaks, but support can be limited right now.

Luvkily I didn't have to change any configs and it hasn't caused any problems (yet). Which is good, but also makes me think it's more of a general SQL driver than specifically MariaDB. I could be wrong though.
