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.

Macs dont support EFI booting OSes other than Mac OS properly. You either need to install a bootloader or make sure you flash drive is made in “legacy bios mode”.
My 2013 MacBook Pro with elementaryOS begs to differ.
Was it installed EFI or BIOS/legacy?
The icon I clicked on to start the installer was an orange disk called “EFI Boot.”
Well darn, your 2013 MacBook Pro with elementaryOS does beg to differ.
Yeah I installed the bootloader.
