Matrox - For your Canadian Graphics Cards Needs (en.wikipedia.org)

Matrox Graphics, Inc. is a producer of video card components and equipment for personal computers and workstations. Based in Dorval, Quebec, Canada, it was founded in 1976 by Lorne Trottier and Branko Matić.

To support Unix and Linux, Matrox has released only binary drivers for most of their product line and one partially free and open-source driver for the G550 card which comes with a binary blob to enable some additional functionality. These drivers were tested and are allegedly supported for quite old distributions.[11] They do not work on newer Linux kernels and X.Org Server versions. In addition to the proprietary drivers provided by Matrox, the DRI community has provided drivers under the GPL license for many more of the devices.

This happen for two reason:

1 their targets are not the consumer and gaming community.

2 they cost a lot because they are not piece of shit of hardware that burn just doing what they are supposed to do and this is because again they dont target the consumer market, they must be realiable and dont cause headhaches.

Look up what matrox is used for and maybe build bridges instead of burning it just for the sake of being an asshole.

Anyway i'm starting to see a pattern here with people like you that keep shitting on canadian and european products or to find ways to remove american proprietary software from things ignoring a good part of the post like the part that mention that there are open drivers in this case.
