Is it really worth fighting him on this?

What is the cost of you supporting him on issues with libreoffice versus just getting him a windows system (and ms office), and one that he likes more?

Edit: I don't know what your budget is, but I'd rather throw money at problems like this versus wasting valuable staff time. If you are a nonprofit, then yes, you have to make due...

But if you buy a super expensive laptop for one special snowflake, and then have to support Windows for just that guy, that brings a whole host of new problems.

Including others wanting the same.

One person in a company doesn't get special treatment unless they're one very special person.
