I bought a tx3 mini 2gb/16gb s905w chip, may i know how i can run ubuntu mate in this tv box? sorry newbie here.

Yes you can. Runs very smooth, no hardware problems or overheating issues.

 

Just download the Ubuntu Mate Desktop -- Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180515.img.xz

 

1. EXTRACT the download

2. FORMAT the sd-card

3. OPEN Rufus -- tap ISO icon -- select the EXTRACTED img

4. Create the sd

 

5. HOLD reset

6. INSERT the sdcard (hold reset!)

7. APPLY POWER (hold reset!)

8. After few screen flashes, let go of the reset and proceed.
