True, but further processing below (still inside the loop) will set the
type to either Windows or Linux. Since it is set to either Linux or
Windows before the loop is finished, will it not stop the loop? Maybe
not stop it but when loop is run again shouldn't it recompare $type
variable to Linux and to Windows?

Set var to Linux in the above line.

Set var to Windows in above line.
