My Mac doesn't detect my ssd anymore and doesn't boot, but Linux does.

Please, I'm in a really bad situation.

My Mac didn't boot anymore (a folder with a question mark appears when I power on and can't boot), so I booted the recovery trying to reinstall Mac but the ssd didn't show up in disk utility and in "diskutil list" command in terminal neither. I booted a Linux live usb and the disk appeared on Gparted, so I format it and come back to Mac recovery, but nothing, didn't show up. I tried programs like testdisk but didn't fixed anything. I don't know what to do, the ssd works (Linux sees it) but Mac doesn't see it at all. Now I just installed Ubuntu in the ssd, and it works, so it's not a problem of a broken or dead ssd.

What can I try to fix?

It would help if you told us:
1. What Mac you have
2. What year it was made
3. Which version of the Mac OS you were using before this happened.

Can you get to "internet recovery"???
a. power down all the way off
b. press power on button
c. IMMEDIATELY hold down "command-option-R" and KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN until "the internet symbol" appears
d. if you're on wifi, you will need your wifi password.

Does this get you to the Mac Utilities menu ?????

I got the exact problem in two Mac's (I messed **** up). One is MacBook air early 2014 with Mojave, one MacBook Pro 2014 but not sure about os. Yes, like I said I can go to Internet recovery and like I said the internal disk can't be seen in disk utility, and with "diskutil list" neither.

Make sure Disk Utility is in "View all devices" mode. If it's in the mode that only shows volumes, then a partitioning scheme that it doesn't recognize will prevent anything from showing.

It might also help if you posted the output of 'diskutil list'. A related command is 'diskutil cs list'. Please post the output from both.
