Yes, on the 64-bit ARM Chromebook Plus, I was able to install Crouton chroot environment on the internal eMMC card (so that it runs aarch64 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS alongside ChromeOS), as well as dual-booting Arch Linux from a separate SD card. Both distros run in full GUI mode via software rendering on ARM CPU (no GPU hardware support yet) and with audio/wifi/touchscreen etc. support. Not sure about Kali Linux, but from what I've read on their website, they currently only show support for 32-bit ARM devices.

You can dual-boot with ArchLinux for ARMv8 / aarch64 on a separate 8GB or larger SD card, https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/rockchip/samsung-chromebook-plus Command-line interface and WiFi works well. Having problems getting a GUI desktop (e.g., LXDE, XFCE, etc.) to run though.
