First, do a systemctl stop NetworkManager.service systemctl mask NetworkManager.service Get well informed about the mask command in "man systemctl". Then, configure properly the wired network interface to use the old network service (most notably, pay attention to "NM_CONTROLLED" keyword in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<yourwiredinterface>). Finally, when everything is set up properly, do a systemctl enable network.service systemctl restart network.service or do a "start" instead of "restart" if it is not active already. > My network is then functional, but Evolution and sometimes Firefox > complain the network is stopped yet still enabled.

All apps should work, regardless of NM or network.service being active, as long as everything is configured so that the latter two don't clash into each other. If Xorg or other things crash, it's a separate issue. For one thing, Xorg should be operational for an offline machine as well as an online one (although maybe it requires the loopback interface to be active, I'm not sure). Make sure that NM is masked and network.service is correctly configured and operational. After that, report separately any issues that you might have with other apps.
