is there a matrix messenger which is free software and supports socks5 such that all data can go over tor? Thank you.

I have not tried but according to the discussion at https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/issues/1045, nheko can work with a socks5 proxy to use tor, even though it won't work because of captchas on some servers.

NeoChat supports SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy.

The upcoming release Trisquel 12 Ecne have it in the repository:

sudo apt install neochat

Or you can install with flatpak floss subset in aramo:

sudo apt install flatpak

flatpak remote-add --subset=floss flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak install flathub org.kde.neochat

flatpak run org.kde.neochat

About nheko I was told nheko uses curl. Curl supports socks5. You have to
make a all_proxy=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050
configuration. And I do not know how to.
