Another option that would be OK would be to make wayland the non-default
choice.

kde wayland support is currently enforced through dependencies, so I'm not
aware of any way to "turn off wayland".
You can choose to login via classic X11 session type on the login window
(and that choice will be remembered the next time you login).
Maybe back up a step, why are you asking how to turn it off exactly?

I looked harder, and this may work (untested): Edit /etc/sddm.conf to change
# Directory containing available Wayland sessions
#SessionDir=/usr/share/wayland-sessions
to
SessionDir=<some_empty_directory>
then sddm should cease offering wayland options on the login screen.

I have an older desktop that is VERY slow using wayland, and has frozen
such that I had to do a hard reset. I would like not having to check
every time I login that X11 is set.

This worked. I set SessionDir=/etc/sddm.conf.d which is an empty
directory on this machine, then logged out, and the login screen no
longer had a selection for picking wayland or X11. When I logged back
in, I was running X11.
