title: How Do I Enable ADB Debugging on Chrome OS?
body: <p>According to both <a href="https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9770692" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/arc/development-environment?hl=en#enable_adb_debug" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google</a>, if I enable Linux on Chrome OS, then in Settings' &quot;Linux (Beta)&quot; section, I should see a &quot;Develop Android apps&quot; option.</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>On an HP Chromebox G2 (Kench), I see this option and eventually got it activated.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>On a Samsung Chromebook Plus (Kevin), I do not see this option, even with Chrome OS 88.0.4324.186.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>On an ASUS Chromebook Tablet CT100 (scarlet), I see this option. This particular device is short on ports, though, so I'm going to be struggling to use it for what I need.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>On an Acer Chromebook R11 (cyan), I do not see this option, even with Chrome OS 88.0.4324.186.</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>So... how do I enable ADB debugging on the Samsung or the Acer?</p>
  <p>Or, another way to look at it: how do I know whether a given Chrome OS device model will or will not support ADB debugging, besides actually trying to set it up? It is difficult to plan on getting something else for testing if I do not know whether it will support ADB before buying it.</p>
