Does enabling developer mode in ChromeOS disable automatic updates?

Question

I want to enable full access to the terminal (to install Python), so I need to enable developer mode. But I don't want to lose automatic updates to ChromeOS.

Does enabling developer mode in ChromeOS disable automatic updates?

Answer 1

No, developer mode does not disable automatic updates. My Chromebook has been in dev mode for over a year and I haven't missed an update yet.

Direct from François Beaufort: automatic updates continue while in developer mode.
