Try another usb, different brand. It might not be the burning app, it could be the usb itself. Also, try different ports of usb. Finally, have an ethernet usb adapter, if your laptop doesn't have an ethernet port, because you will need that to install the wifi driver, which is not included by default on linux, because it's not a Free driver.

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.

I'll give this a shot, thank you
worked, thanks lol
This explains so much! It took me ages to get the Broadcom working correctly and even now I’m not sure how I got it to work (it sometimes goes away and I have to reboot to bring it back).
The etcher worked for me but I installed elementaryOS on a 2013. Have you verified the checksum and verified the USB works to boot any other computer you have available (your Linux desktop, maybe?)
yeah I used the same USB to install Garuda on my desktop just very recently
Haha I think there’s some confusion. I’m not asking if the USB is confirmed working, I’m asking if your Mint image is correctly written and can boot another machine successfully.
oh sorry, yes the mint image is working
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.
