It's possible or even likely this is the approximate, if not precise procedure — I can't verify this, it's not a platform I use — but I'd be wary of googling something and just pasting results from the LLM without more research. These are not systems with knowledge. I work with LLMs and have some level of familiarity with their limitations.Also, I've received less-than-useless, dangerously incorrect results from Google's Gemini search result summaries. So, a word of caution here. Always verify the information you get from cursory results like this, particularly if you're working in unfamiliar territory. Full documentation of the Developer Mode activation and use procedure is here: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-library/guides/device/developer-mode/ The specifics of actually getting to the console are here: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-library/guides/device/developer-mode/#getting-to-a-command-prompt It appears to be describing how to switch to tty2, which makes sense on a Linux-based system. In my experience, the second link is likely to be correct; the key combination they describe is one often used to flip through VCs.
