I don't understand......
You should be able to download the binary image from the "Tor Project" website and verify it's signature manually. See https://support.torproject.org/tbb/how-to-verify-signature/
I did just that and got: gpgv: Good signature from "Tor Browser Developers (signing key) [email protected]"
Note that you need to use the correct version of the files
gpgv --keyring ./tor.keyring ~/Downloads/tor-browser-linux64-9.0.5_en-US.tar.xz{.asc,}9.0.5 instead of 9.0 as shown in the example
I then extracted the downloaded archive and ran the "start-tor-browser.desktop" file.
What am I missing? Why do I need a launcher?
