Just your average Ring Racers player.
i found a better way to play it on chromebook by booting a different operating system.

though i ran it with the offical linux port and not WINE, i was also able to run srb2 kart too with offical linux port.

NOTE: The reason I know so much is I'm using linux on a personal chromebook, not with school restrictions.My Chromebook is a Samsung 4 one, 32 GB, with a Intel Inside processor
The answer is, Wine, a software that runs Windows exe files, i tested this on my School Chromebook, which is highly restricted, but i just added in another user and was able to mod the Chromebook easily

So there is a few disadvantages that make the game slightly unplayable, such as turning around making the game give a split second delay, and not being able to run it via software rendering (the best one AAAAAA)
Update, I had tested 2.2 with the Flatpak method yesterday, but i uninstalled it
I do not recommend you to make playing SRB2 on a chromebook the main way you play it, just get a Windows laptop
This isn't the only way, use the linux functionality to run srb2bld and compile an appimage for 2.1.25.
If that didn't work (it didn't for me) I got a premade build from a friend on POP! OS.
NOTE 2: I posted the build I got from my friend here on google drive, ik it's sketchy to download things online, so I understand if you dont wanna do that, ALSO, if you use any kind of binary/executable for linux you can install menulibre to add it too your home menu. Just use sudo apt install menulibre.

Appimage: https://nzarx.github.io/appimage.html
Flatpak: https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/org.srb2.SRB2
Building from source: https://nzarx.github.io/other.html
Web Version: https://vinmannie.github.io/srb2web/
Wine (you know where to get that lol)
Another OS (Side load, VM, etc.)
Nzarx made a guide so I put that here
Vinmannie made a fixed version of the web build (still 2.2.4 tho)
Flatpak is the way most linux users use to play srb2
