Now to embedded. That's a big story. A set-top box with a web-server/media-server/router-software/etc is embedded. A SOC (system-on-chip) acting as a software layer for some complex digital hardware is embedded. A single-PCB-computer making a LED blink is embedded.
If you simply want to have some small computer sitting in a box doing software things, e.g. some network-based service (e.g. a small whatever-server), any single board computer (
https://www.graperain.com/arm-single-board-computer/) will do. There are tons of existing software for web-servers, media-servers, repo-servers, etc. Install it, configure it, hook that board to Ethernet or Wifi, and you're done.
You probably want to hide all the Linux-ness from the outside, make your embedded system look like some smart device. And then you want offer some convenient update-mechanism, which will probably lead you to embedded bootloaders like Das U-Boot. However, once you're at that point, Google should suffice :-)

So... is this a comment now...? A hidden follow-up question...? Or why are you quoting me without quote tags...? ;-)
