Can't install macOS over Pop!_OS / Ubuntu

As described here, I've installed Pop!_OS over macOS, which works fine so far.

However, I would like to try switching back to macOS, but I can't, because the internal SSD isn't recognized by the installer:

But the installed OS boots just fine. It seems, that the SSD isn't initialized during the macOS setup. Is there anything I can do, to get the disk listed?

Solution

  • Okay, the solution is simple:

    You have to click on View and then enable Show all devices. Now, the internal SSD will be displayed and you can do, whatever you want (partition, install macOS, ...).
