Post Body

So I was attempting to make a partition on my macbook pro to dual boot linux... so I read around and thought I needed to go into disk utility and make the partition there. Thing is, when I did that and hit "partition", the largest slice of the pie graph I was able to make was only 171GB (I have a 500GB SSD), so I thought I had to resize the container to be 250GB and then the other 250GB would be open for linux..

Guess I was wrong... I typed:

sudo diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 250g

into the terminal, and somehow that made things worse and more confusing because it shows I have 250GB of "Free Space" when I try to partition, and NEGATIVE 121.5GB of "non-mounted" in disk utility under the container as well as 93.44GB of free space in the container.

I have no idea what I've done and would like to either reverse it, or better yet reverse it and do the partition properly.

Any help is insanely appreciated!
