A simple pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for the linear inhomogeneous systems of ODEs. In contrast to the usual Hamiltonian mechanics, our approach is based on the use of non-stationary Poisson brackets, i.e. corresponding Poisson tensor is allowed to explicitly depend on time. Starting from this pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation we develop a consistent deformation quantization procedure involving a non-stationary star-product $*_t$ and an ``extended'' operator of time derivative $D_t=\\partial_t+...$ , differentiating the $\\ast_t$ -product. As in the usual case, the $\\ast_t$ -algebra of physical observables is shown to admit an essentially unique (time dependent) trace functional $\\mathrm{Tr}_t$ . Using these ingredients we construct a complete and fully consistent quantum-mechanical description for any linear dynamical system with or without dissipation. The general quantization method is exemplified by the models of damped oscillator and radiating point charge.A simple pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for the linear inhomogeneous systems of ODEs.
