So my question is: Is there any way to have a centralised proxy config with a simple GUI?
If you look through the configuration menus (of course this is harder if you use a desktop that has abandoned putting things in organised menus), you'll find an item called something like "network proxy." It lets that user specify a proxy, and various applications will make use of that information. Not all, but this is no worse than Windows, where you have to separately configure a plethora of internet applications.
