@RaulRomeroPortales I've stumbled upon your message while searching for ubuntu focal sources.list file, and all I really can say is that if a driver isn't included in the kernel but the vendor uses it, this isn't something that Linux was designed for. Linux was designed to keep device drivers in the kernel. You should contact the Promethean support for them to release updated drivers or any instruction to use it. It falls under the responsibility of someone providing the equipment. That's my 5c. Nobody will really help you set it up for them, we don't have it at home :(
Just my 5c as @hakerdefo didn't understand your message and linked Prometheus support which isn't Promethean multimedia screen.
Overall, in my experience, most multimedia screens were just using HDMI and then a tablet-like input for it. You can try using https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/wacom.html.en to align it to the screen if that's the case, and then a regular HDMI. If it's proprietary then it might be even possible that Promethean didn't release documentation for Linux kernel developers to add it to mainline kernel, then there's nothing we can do except recommending to avoid this particular manufacturer.

The last thing I might recommend is using 20.04 LTS still, it's technically still supported until April. But overall, since this package is tools, I don't know if you really need it. Might be that just regular graphic tablet utilities are fine.
@merceroncode Thank you so much for this detailed and well articulated reply. This will be useful to many. 👍
