A mos linear family is a family of related mosses of the form xL (nx + y)s. This family starts with the mos xL ys, where x < y and n = 0, and continue with mosses with the same number of large steps but a linearly growing quantity of small steps. An example of such a family is the mos sequence 5L 2s, 5L 7s, 5L 12s, 5L 17s, etc, where each successive mos has 5 more small steps than the last.

Names for these families describe a subset of a mos descendant family, and are called a ''(mos name)'' ''linear family'' or ''(mos-prefix)linear family''. Mosses in a linear family relate to one another by repeated application of the replacement ruleset L->Ls and s->s to the initial mos's step pattern. In terms of step ratio, these mosses relate back to the initial mos if the initial mos has a hard or pseudocollapsed step ratio. The linear family for the child mos (x+y)L xs can be seen as the analogous linear family for the mos's step ratio being soft or pseudoequalized; however, the mos (x+y)L xs is the start of its own linear family.
