Hi, I asked chatGBT how to use a usb drive as a live boot in order to use it for Kali Linux. My question is how I restart the Mac selecting macOS after the usage of kali. ChatGBT said:

"Here are the steps to restart your computer and return to the original operating system after booting into Kali Linux from the USB drive:

  1. Make sure you have properly closed all applications and saved any important data in Kali Linux.

  2. Safely eject the SanDisk USB drive by following these steps

    • In the taskbar of Kali Linux, look for the USB or removable storage icon.
    • Click on the icon, and a list of USB drives and partitions should appear.
    • Select your SanDisk USB drive from the list.
    • Look for an option like "Eject" or "Unmount" and click on it.
    • Wait until you see a message indicating that the USB drive can be safely removed.

  3. Once you have safely ejected the USB drive, you can simply restart your computer.

    • In the taskbar of Kali Linux, click on the main menu icon (usually located in the top left corner of the screen).
    • Look for the "Restart" or "Shutdown" option and click on it.
    • Follow the instructions to restart your computer.

  4. During the restart, make sure not to press any key to boot from a USB drive again. Otherwise, you may end up booting into Kali Linux again instead of the original operating system.

  5. Your computer should boot into the original operating system as usual."

So back to my question I would like to know if somebody using a Mac and kali via usb could please tell me how to restart correctly the Mac

It seems that you just need to restart the mac once the stick has been removed with a simple combination of keys or from the kali menu
