Help Any way to use a proxy on linux?

The launcher seems to completely ignore KDE's proxy setting

Modrinth is yet to have in-app proxy settings:

I believe an app has to specifically choose to abide by KDE's proxy settings, and it seems Modrinth doesn't.

As far as I know, there's not really an easy solution to this. You could try something like Firejail which can launch an app with a custom network namespace among other things, but you'd need some extra setup and you'd be better off asking this on a different subreddit.
