TLDR

Engadget explains that Developer Mode allows system-level changes, including custom kernels, but reduces built-in security protections. On a standard Chromebook laptop, enter Recovery Mode with Esc + Refresh + Power, then press Ctrl + D and confirm that you want to turn off OS verification. Switching modes wipes local data, so the guide advises backing up files first.
