Use Tor Browser on Ubuntu 22.04 installed on a MacBook Air

I have my Ubuntu (22.04 Jammy Jellyfish) running on a MacBook Air.
I was trying to install Tor there but it seems like I can't launch it.

I have done everything OK, but it simply doesn't launch when calling from terminal or launching via doubleclick.

I downloaded from here: torproject.org/download and followed instructions from here: tb-manual.torproject.org/installation.

I chose and installed Tor for Linux.
Verified the signature, extracted the file, marked the

start-tor-browser.desktop

file as executable.

I right-click and hit "run as a program" and I see the Terminal quickly flashing but nothing else happens thereafter

Anyone can think of a workaround/solution?

I've tried also Tor Browser Launcher, but when clicking on "Install Tor Browser" it crashes.

Ideas?

It doesn't work that way probably due to what was commented here:

torbrowser-launcher is plagued by a Python 3.10 related bug. It crashes on run as is currently. Known issue with a fix submitted upstream but not merged yet

In order to use the self-contained "TOR bundle" you must open a terminal to the extracted folder and run:

./start-tor-browser.desktop
