USB Not recognised

MACBook M3 running Tahoe 26.4

I use the app to flash a USB several times, a few different USB drives and different ports.

Once the flash is complete, the USB device is no longer recognized.

Unfortunately this happens all too often when it comes to using Etcher. So much so that generally on the forum we recommend using another tool entirely (such as Rufus, Ventoy, almost any other frankly) because of this exact problem.

What tool can I use to replace Etcher that is MAC compatible, or, is there another method?

Maybe you can try Fedora Media Writer. Another user wrote that he used it on a Mac to install Zorin.

Welcome to the Forum!

I think the bigger Problem is Your M3 Chip. I could be wrong but I don't think that it will run with Zorin. Maybe take a Look at Asahi Linux.
