I found the answer to my question:
Switch to runlevel 3 by default:
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
It does seem a rather brutal approach. Considering that there are quite
a few "system default" settings that people want to play with, that need
configuring all over the place, it's a shame that we don't have a
*single* /etc/defaults location that lets one easily set run levels,
display managers, and other things, in a way that's obvious to
understand just by reading the current configurations set in it.
As opposed to making links, finding how GDM is started/chosen, likewise
for Gnome/KDE/others, etc.
