I'm posting this question hoping for a somewhat simple explanation if one is even possible. As someone that has no programming experience I constantly see people referring to abd commands as a way to enable functions on our Galaxy devices. I know that to do this we have to enable developer options however once that is done then what. Once again I'm looking for a brief overview not a deep dive. I'm at the point where I'd like to start further customizing my device. But I'm still a little nervous as I'm afraid of a royal screw up. I know I can search Google or even maybe Reddit but I think I could be overwhelmed. Based on what I've noticed over the last year maybe @CHMultimedia or @Shaggyskunk could help?

If you want to use adb commands - you need to download the Samsung USB Drivers to your computer to start with - Depending on what you want to do with adb - Most apps that are either dependant on Root or adb will include the adb commands that you need to run - If you're using Windows 10 you'll need to open Windows Power Shell (after you have installed Platform-Tools in addition to the Samsung USB Drivers).
Platform-Tools let's you run adb & Samsung USB Drivers let your computer "talk" to your phone - Here's a good link to get you started 😉🐧

Oh BTW - I just noticed that the Subject of the Question is "abd" - Typo - Dyslexic or just wasn't sure? lol - I'm just kidding - But it is "adb" for Android Device Bridge 😉😇🐧

It's actually really easy, once you try it. And it's hard to mess up even if you try to mess up lol, because adb commands are strict and won't accept any screwed up commands. So have no fear!

go into a shell and enter this (exactly of course)
settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "$(settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles),MobileData,Hotspot"
reboot and select button order and you'll have a data toggle.
