Can't mount usb flash drive

Hi, I was trying to mount my flash drive and it gave me this error: “An error occurred while accessing ‘119.3 GiB Removable Media’, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /run/media/jonas/e4269dbb-eb3f-42bb-b696-f41c3c8ed496: Filesystem type apfs not configured in kernel” I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.

The drive is formatted with Apple’s APFS file system format. APFS is not supported in Linux. There is an experimental 3rd party project to support it, which you can enable with boot.supportedFilesystems.apfs = true; but use at your own risk. File systems are sensitive creatures and I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable relying on APFS on anything other than macOS.
