Hi.
I installed Linux Mint on my MacBook from late 2009 to just try it out.
In order to do that, i added a partition to my SSD, so the one for macOS had to get smaller.
After i was done trying what i wanted to, i went back into macOS, opened Disk-Management-Utility and deleted the partition for Linux and the macOS partition would become the same size as before.
I got a weird error that something didn't work and thought i'd boot into recovery mode to check what was going on.
Restarted, CMD+R doesn't work. Mac is booting into so-thought deleted Linux partition, where i only get a GNU shell.
Then i created a USB-Stick with a macOS installer on it and went into Disk-Management-Utility to get to see that there is no macOS partition anymore. At least macOS doesn't recognize it as one.
The partition where macOS should be installed on is just named disk0s2 and the one where Linux was installed on is just gone and its not even shown as free space, 190GB are just gone.
I attached a photo of the partitioning of the drive.
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
EDIT: I added a photo of "diskutil list"
EDIT 2: When i try "diskutil verifyVolume disk0s2" or "diskutil repariVolume disk0s2" i get "Error starting file system repair for disk0s2: Unrecognized file system (-69846)"
