You can usually boot from a USB stick as long a sit has enough space and you prepare it properly by writing the correct file to it.
For Mint you have to write the image file (called an ISO) to the USB, restart the machine, go into boot settinhs, choose "Boot from USB", and then away you go.

I'm considering to dual boot an Intel Macbook, but first a legitimately stupid question: is the dual boot 'undoable'? I sound like a facebook mom right now I feel but I've never dual booted before, and I assume that if you assign the GBs of RAM to your Linux boot, and later want to remove the dual boot, you can reassign it fully? eg: Initially: 8 GB Macbook boot Dual: 4 gb mac & 4 gb Linux distro Later: 8 GB Macbook OR 8 GB Linux distro (ie., fully shifted to Linux). is that possible? i assume it is...
