I ran the commands and I get the same issue, I also tried to reinstall the network-manager with
sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager
but that didn't help

What's confusing me is, I can connect to my iPhones hotspot wifi network, but can't connect to my home network, and I also run Zorin Pro on another device and it has no issues connecting to home network

confirm if your hardware was detected by this code:-

lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network

if yes

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source

sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma
sudo modprobe wl

Then I suppose the mac adapters are not compatible.

You can buy an ethernet cable from your wifi access point to your mac or just simple switch back to mac OS or redhat linux.

I have seen a lot of problems for linux users on mac (most of them cannot be solved without hardware manipulation) and it is best to keep your mac working with its original OS.

Generally Mac User's use Virtual Machines, But I do not have much Idea about replacing Macintosh entirely with linux. I am more into hardware made for linux.

You should read the reviews for mac redhat.
