For example can you run wayland, or usage of fully supported GPU usage, Rs-pi's Camera usage, SPI , I2C , GPIO usages (PWM,Analog and others)
For SBCs running just the OS itself won't be enough. It is a good start of course but it also should support SBCs perks as well for (like access hardware related drivers/libraries and create your own stuff)
