gnome-disk-utils shows is a "Apple Core Storage" partition

My Macbook pro with "MacOS 10.13.6" died on me, so I'm gonna try installing a MacOS Catalina on a vm with libvirtio-qemu-kvm.

If I'm not mistaken, Apple Core storage uses the HFS+ filesystem (and not APFS). You should try https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse in order to mount.

Yes, CoreStorage uses HFS+. I don't know about software that is able to handle CoreStorage volumes, but you may find some. @Banaanhangwagen I don't think the fuse library will help much in this case ;)

I created a MacOS VM, mounted the disk on DiskUtility and decrypted the disk into a DMG file... then converted to IMG and mounted successfully.
