hey ive been using Raine meter fo about 3 years and i build and maintain desktop/labtops for various clients and one of my favorite things to put on them is rainmeter for that personal touch. alot of people (mostly high schools and some older clients) are asking if rainmeter can be put on a chrome book. if it cant could u reccomend a customization tool i could use thx

Sorry, Rainmeter is a Windows-only application. Chromebooks run on a stripped-down version of Linux, so their customization options are very limited. Your best move is to search the Chrome Web Store for an extension of some kind. :)

"Conky" and "Screenlets" are available for most Linux distributions and provide similar, but not as versatile system monitoring, weather, clocks, etc.

Search the system package manager on those systems to find compatible versions for these utilities for whatever flavor of Linux they are running.

It is my understanding that Chromebooks omit most of the usual features of the OS. The idea is that the only interface is the browser itself. So they don't have any other packages or applications. They're just Chrome, plus a very basic settings and file manager.
