Had to boot up my Linux PC to reformat a USB

Apparently Mac laptops just can't do it. No judgement I can't either.

Weird, I've had some issues like that over the years but I don't think it ever happened without there being a hardware issue which soon cropped up on other oses

Mac laptops can absolutely read & reformat nearly any usb drive. If you want it ntfs formatted, you’ll have to download an app like Tuxera, but it’s definitely still doable.

The USB and was set up as a bootable drive. Wanted to wipe it. Everytime I hit reformat or erase it would give it a go then give up. Plug it into my PC, right click, reformat, 2 seconds later got a empty USB.

Couldn't reformat or erase a USB set up as a bootable drive. Gave it ago but gave up and said it couldn't do it. If it takes longer to setup a Mac so that it can do something than it takes to bootup another device, its effectivly incapable of doing it imo.
