facts are that windows natively, for the sake of a supposed user-friendliness, starts up everything and uses everything it has regardless if you need it or not at that very moment

Even with normal versions of Windows, you can disable much of what you don't need from startup. Windows Embedded can run even leaner. I'm sure Linux is a better choice in many cases, but it would be rather one-eyed to think it was always the right choice.

The Delphi road map includes Linux.
Would this be for PC's only or is Linux Linux and would run on embedded as well?

linux is linux wherever that means that if it runs on linux on pc will run on embedded platforms as well.
