Thank you for the reply. I can confirm that 'verbose output during compilation' is turned off.
As for the normal upload, below is thew output of the 'bricking' process:

The test sketch that I am uploading:
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
Serial.println("Hello :-)");
delay(1000);
}
Error messages from the IDE (I have removed excessive '***failed;' and some repeated iterations of messages but left the substance) :
Arduino: 1.8.9 (Linux), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Micro"
Sketch uses 3598 bytes (12%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 161 bytes (6%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2399 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.

After programming, the board is no longer detected and a serial port is not assigned, rendering it inaccessible. I will now have to recover it again with using the AVR programmer.
I should also point out that I have tried different USB cables and these same USB cables work fine when programming using the IDE on Windows.
The board is connected directly to the USB port on the PC and not via a USB hub.
