Macs, or at least these Macs, use a Broadcomm wireless card, which is not the default for most Linux distros. If possible, plug the Mac into a wired internet connection.Use a program - I recommend BalenaEtcher - to burn the file to a USB drive.It doesn't matter if you download on a PC, a Mac, or another Linux distro.
