He uses Winblows on a separate PC to do all the things his Gentoo/LFS

Maybe I should have removed a part of his sentence. To be sure, the
joke wasn't about what he likes but about what he pretend to represent.

He thinks his outdated Linux apps that he can get to run on his
ridiculous system outshine more conventional PC use, it's just sad,
some people get set in their ways, never realizing how backward they
become, this has to be why he decries SSDs, literally calling them a
"gimmick". Well sure it's easy to boot from an HDD when it's loading
five processes or something, but NVMe SSDs in particular are a
breakthrough in storage efficiency.

I've read some of his posts under various nyms and my conclusion is
he is a troll just trying to gaslight people.
Your assessment of him is spot on.

the *Snit (AKA Michael Glasser)*, this should not be done. He
will drive you crazy with his twisted logic, his deep-rooted
need to be ALWAYS right at any cost. He will move goalposts,
set up strawmen, and bore you into submission with his endless
pedanticism. The only way to engage him is to hit and run. NEVER
engage him, it's a futile, empty procedure that will only anger
you and feed him. Take my advice and STAY AWAY!"   27 Oct 2004
