Unable to create a bootable Linux Mint USB drive (MacOS)

I am attempting to repurpose an older MacBook Pro (2012) running Catalina 10.15.7. The etcher version is 1.19.25. The Mint distro is 22.1 Cinnamon. The SHA checks out.

The error I’m receiving from etcher is:
Error (0 , h.requestMetadata) is not a function

Thoughts?
