![]() ![]() Since this channel is more experimental, it isn't meant for users that demand the highest levels of stability. Experimental features that may not make it to the Stable release soon or may never be released are tested here. Issues and bugs are sometimes found on this channel, but they are rarely severe.ĭev Channel is for the adventurous. ![]() The Beta Channel is where features that are coming soon to the Stable release of Chrome OS are tested. This is the channel that most users should use, especially those who need the highest assurance of things just working the way they are supposed to. The default channel is Stable, which is the most thoroughly tested version of Chrome OS. Say goodbye to those ultra-fast Chrome OS boot times.Ĭhrome OS also has Channels, which are distinct from the Mode. When you boot in Dev Mode there is a warning that displays for 30 seconds to remind the user of the possible dangers. If you get lost you can take the Chromebook out of Dev Mode, but you could potentially need to go so far as needing to install Chrome OS from USB to get things back to normal. Many folks have used their Chromebooks in Dev Mode successfully, but you are leaving behind many of the assurances of regular-mode Chrome OS when you do so. It's possible to get yourself into trouble in Dev Mode (for example you can inadvertently alter the operating system or file system in a negative way - there aren't any "safety rails" when you're in Dev Mode.) If you run into a problem the first thing that a support person will have you do is to take your system out of Dev Mode which will erase all of the locally stored data and refresh Chrome OS back to its default (non-Dev Mode) state. You are on your own when you put your system in Developer Mode. Developer Mode exists for those that need deeper access to the operating system. When you enable Developer Mode, you turn off some of the security features of Chrome OS - so yes it is less secure. Once you start the Linux/Ubuntu (step 7) you can swap between Chrome OS and Linux/Ubuntu (step 8).ĭeveloper Mode allows the user to have access to permissions not available in the regular mode of Chrome OS.
