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).

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.

The icon I clicked on to start the installer was an orange disk called “EFI Boot.”

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?)

My 2013 MacBook Pro with elementaryOS begs to differ.

I'm not sure you're referencing the correct statistic related to the main takeaway of this article. Nissan EV owners were the second-highest group after Tesla (63.2%) to buy another EV, they were just low on model loyalty, not switching back to an ICE.

If I am traveling out of town, I try my best to eat locally at my destination city. I would rather get the flavor of a city by its local cuisine offerings rather than from its underpaid chain fast food workers that I can suffer at home 😂
