    Then, can I boot to an Ubuntu install USB stick?

    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. Just use a Windows OS and Rufus software to do it and don't forget that you must have a 32 GB or more pendrive and select the device for installing.

    How would one force a cyan OS Chromebook to boot from a live Kali USB? As it stands, Chrome doesn't want to allow anything except Chrome.

    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to force a Chrome OS Chromebook to boot from a live Kali USB as Chrome OS is designed to only run Chrome OS and does not allow booting from external media.
