Hi Guys,
i am trying this on Ubuntu 18.04 S390x, same Problem. Can you please add architecture s390x to the list of supported architectures for the vscode ssh extention? If you need access to a Linux running on S390x and you do not have access to an IBM Mainframe or LinuxONE System you could use the wonderful hercules emulator. z/Linux under hercules is not the fastest experience but it does work beautifully. Be aware that as of this writing Ubuntu 20.04 does not work under hercules though. You need to use 18.04. You can download an installation image from here. There are some great youtube videos on how to set this up, for example this one and a more specific video about networking issues can be found here.

thanks in advance and greetings from germany

Actually, if you need to access a real Linux on Z (s390x) system, you can request a VM from LinuxONE Community Cloud for developers. You can sign up from here.
