Currently we are using OpenCL driver released in 2019, this by itself is not a huge problem but installing from sourceforge is[1], especially with no hash validation of download files. I managed to get sibernetic working with drivers from ubuntu repo (with some minor changes to handle the OpenCL version upgrade). I'm happy to send the PR, creating this issue to see if there is any interest in that.

I actually updated the driver to check if i will notice any perf improvements, unfortunately I'm not seeing any perf improvement.
