How to turn on Developer Mode on a Chromebook
Engadget says Developer Mode grants root access but relaxes ChromeOS protections; switching modes wipes local data.
TLDR
Engadget explains that Developer Mode allows system-level changes, including custom kernels, but reduces built-in security protections.

Switching modes wipes local data, so the guide advises backing up files first.
