What's the best distro to install (possibly not dual boot) on an ARM Chromebook Version 2?

I've used Crouton in years past tho I'd like to simply avoid the Chrome OS (and Google) -- if possible.
Also, I'd like to have a secured boot using a password.
Is a change of BIOS required to start from USB?
Is it best to buy a USB with a live Linux OS?
Which distro would do well?

F. Good question! I'm trying out Kali... bc it looks fun, but Jury is still out on that one!
