Creating a Live Linux USB will let you save files to it. Whether your Macbook Pro accepts Kali depends on the setup, but Live Linux should work without issues. You can safely discard it if needed.

No its a live environment meaning when you shutdown or reboot it goes back to stock. You can't save to it unless you install it.

The process is referred to as creating a persistent USB drive. A brief search reveals this documentation: http://docs.kali.org/downloading/kali-li...ersistence

Certainly! Here’s a revised version of your sentence:
"Conduct some investigation prior to sharing."

I saw one of my previous posts today, teasing how many people asking for Linux help are mentioning Kali. Still on the same subject—there are two approaches to run Linux from a USB drive: one is using a "live" version, like booting directly from the ISO, which can sometimes preserve data but isn’t always straightforward; the other involves installing the full distribution onto the USB, setting up the bootloader and everything. In theory, this is just like installing on a hard drive.

You can set up Linux on a USB stick and operate it directly from the drive.

I already know how it works. I've used Linux for years and handled the system extensively. Generally, you can't save files in a live Linux setup. If someone found a method, it's fine, but don't challenge me since you're not convinced. This topic makes sense because the question asked if it's possible to save in a live environment, and I addressed that.

Generally, it depends on the distribution you're using. Kali Linux is built on Debian, which is widely supported, so setup problems should be minimal. (It's likely even tools like LiLi USB Creator won't face issues.)

Certainly, you might also opt for two USB drives if available. Keep one for the installer files and use the other as the installation medium. Be aware that Windows won't recognize drives beyond the initial partition, as it doesn't support partitioned USB sticks for certain reasons.
