Welcome to the forum

Have you read and understood the first line of the error message ?

3

In addition to the above, the Arduino IDE is not set up correctly, according to the last line of the posted error message.

4

what should I do?

5

A suggestion would be to configure a JTAG interface programmer.

6

I dont know how to do that, I would like to note that my MEGA and UNO boards work just fine
I am using the .appimage file from the official download site. My OS is openSUSE Tumbleweed

You might try following the Adafruit guide: Overview | Micro:bit with Arduino | Adafruit Learning System

The guide includes instructions on how to handle the error you have encountered using linux (which you forgot to mention until post #6).

Hint: a web search for "program microbit arduino" turns up useful information.

Thank you! the article fixed my problem!
