No one is deciding what you can or cannot do. It sounds like there's a bug. You shouldn't need to go to the command line permanently, but you might need to to do some debugging. Are you okay with that?
How did you install the tor browser in the first place?
What is the returned message when starting tor from a terminal? How did you install it?
The problem is likely rooted in that .desktop file. See if the path and the command there match the command you use when starting it from command line.
