How can I "opt out"? I've tried disabling 
NetworkManager-wait-online.service, but that didn't help. I found some 
info about it for Arch, which suggested to mask the service rather than 
disable it, but that hasn't worked either.

I'm not sure making the desktop wait for the network by default is a 
good idea, because you sometimes need the desktop to be able to get 
online, eg to choose a new wifi network and enter its password.
