You write USS when you mean z/OS Unix system Services. Why is one

Pray tell, what is the real difference between the Unix Sub System or
OMVS (or whatever you want to call it!!). and VM running Z/OS (without
USS) and z/Linux?
They both run *uix type systems. USS might be better connected to MVS
style data sets, but does that really matter?
And it has ISPF. But if there was an ISPF on Linux, what would the
differences really be?

"USS" is the (I believe) accepted acronym (or at least abbreviation, if you say "you ess
ess" rather than "usssssssss") for MVS, OS/390, and z/OS UNIX System Services.
"Linux for System z" is an operating system. "z/Linux" has become a mostly
accepted abbreviation for it.
"Linux for z/OS" doesn't exist and never has.
Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one...
