Nothing will compile and COM port doesn't exist

[bananaboy44]

After trying like 4 different USB cables to get the board to even show up in IDE I'm unable to upload nor compile anything. When i went to try and reset the Bootloader and i double press the reset button on the board the COM port doesnt show up.

Error code given when compiling:
Arduino: 1.8.19 (Linux), Board: "Arduino MKRZERO"

fork/exec /home/*******/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: no such file or directory
Error compiling for board Arduino MKRZERO.

No such file or directory as arm-none-eabi-g++

So you must install both those platforms. If you don't install the "Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+)" platform then the right version of arm-none-eabi-gcc tool isn't installed and you get this error message. Once you have installed the platforms, you will use the Tools > Board > SparkFun SAMD Boa…

Other threads suggest removing the "packages" folder in the board manager and install all your boards again.
