Are there any good emulators for learning embedded Linux ?

Linux has very good OpenGL & Vulkan drivers, most distros have nice low overhead. wine lets you run emulators that are for Windows without a Linux version. I'm running Ubuntu and have had no problem running various emulators up through PS3 emulation (on a system that's fast enough.) I haven't tried anything newer TBH.
In-circuit emulation (ICE) is the use of a hardware device or in-circuit emulator used to debug the software of an embedded system. It operates by using a processor with the additional ability to support debugging operations, as well as to carry out the main function of the system.
Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that simplifies and automates the process of building a complete and bootable Linux environment for an embedded system, while using cross-compilation to allow building for multiple target platforms on a single Linux-based development system.
If you want to play with Linux on the Arm, you can play with qemu. That way, you can emulate, for instance, an N8x0 tablet

Embedded Linux is like Linux, but sometimes with the capabilities of a microcontroller. Learn Linux on a normal PC, then find yourself a PIC toolkit that uses a C compiler and learn the MCU stuff on that.

The Beagle Board is a good DIY development board/environment for learning embedded Linux.
The board is relatively cheap ($149) and there is lots of community support, and lots of open source projects.

It actually depends on what you mean by embedded Linux. Embedded Linux can be :
My advice: get a RasberryPi and try to copy some project to get the feel of cross compilation and dealing directly with hardware. Or just simply use VM learn the interaction with all the Linux component.
