That would explain it, as this is a 2013 macbook, and it does have a CD
drive, so, no wonder.

Subject: Re: Creating a bootable ubuntu on mac.
Ubuntu provides documentation, but unfortunately it only applies to modern
Macs (specifically, those without optical drives). Older Macs don’t have
the capacity to boot MBR-partitioned USB media, and you must use an EFI
loader to do it. See:
https://sevenbits.github.io/Mac-Linux-USB-Loader/
If you have a modern Mac, then the standard procedure works: just write the
contents of the ISO onto the device using dd, and then boot up in either
BIOS or UEFI mode from the boot menu (hold Option at start). The latter is
preferred (“EFI Boot” using the fallback loader) but the former is sometimes
required (Macs call it “Windows” regardless of the underlying OS).
Is anyone confused yet? Sorry about that. :)
I won’t vouch for the performance of Ubuntu on your hardware. I will say
that having sighted help around is a distinct possibility, if only to verify
that your image is booting.
