Question about installing on Intel MacBooks (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey there, I'm trying to install Mint on a 2015 MacBook Pro and for some reason the laptop won't show the USB in the boot menu when I try to access it. I've tried using both baleneaEtcher on both my Macbook and my Linux desktop, and ventoy on the desktop to make the drive but neither has worked.

Does anyone have experience with this era of macs and installing Linux on them?

EDIT: Changing the flash drive worked ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I had to mess around with the EFI boot on my 2015 MacBook Pro.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
