Blender 2.83.5 will not run if archive extracted with xarchive

Question

If you extract the archive file blender-2.83.5-linux64.tar.xz with xarchiver you may get all of the files extracted into one directory. This obviously won't work, blender fails to start, generating several missing file errors, since the directory structure that it expects is missing

sounds like a bug in xarchiver, possibly raise it with them? https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/issues/ — JCRM, Aug 24 '20 at 08:55

Yikes! Forgot to answer how I fixed this. Extract with tar --xz -xfv

Sorry!
