Kali Linux live won't boot
I'm trying to boot into a Kali Linux live thumb drive on my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro, to partition a secondary internal hdd that has Windows (set up with bootcamp) on it (to install Kali in the new partition).
It works at the start, and I chose to boot into Live (amd64)
Then, it takes a super long time on this screen (sorry for the blurriness)
and then just goes to a blank screen.
Is there anything more that I need to do to boot from this? Or should I just wait and maybe it'll boot.
(I used ddto create the bootable drive from an iso)

I'm not complaining about that, or why it is hard to set up. I've already set it up once, I know what to do (except with live usbs). Honestly, I'm not looking for a day to day os, I have macOS for that

If you know what to do then why the question?

Because I don't know how to boot up into this live USB properly, or if this live USB thing is even working

If you're having trouble booting from a Live USB then you're going to have even more trouble using Kali Linux.
