How do I set the Acer Chromebook to boot from USB? I have googled around and haven't found any solid guide.

You can do it by entering developer mode. Here are instructions on how to do it: fascinatingcaptain.com/blog/dual-boot-chrome-os-and-linux Keep in mind that this is risky and that it will wipe all of your user info and data before you begin but it's the only way possible if you are sure about doing this. You can also just use the regular Ubuntu USB you have and select "Try Ubuntu without installing".
