There also exist USB-based GPUs, ie. external GPUs that plug into
laptops (or any machine) using USB.

Although I don't think it's worth rescuing this "cheap 13" laptop" by
spending yet more money on hardware which might have its own driver
issues.

Probably best to get rid of it on eBay and buy a decent laptop.  The
ARM-based Samsung Chromebook is very cheap and runs Fedora.
