Bare minimum to run Wayland Apps

Hello, I am currently building an arcade machine which is intended to run indie games built natively for Linux. For that I want to use the wayland…

I wanted to do the same for a dedicated jellyfin player box; a defunct laptop or mini PC that boots straight into the jellyfin-media-player (jellyfin desktop nowadays) in TV mode and was looking for just the bare minimum of packages to achieve this. gave up, curious how others solved it.
