.DS_Store files are indeed sometimes a pain. I remember once setting up a Linux USB boot drive. And it didn't start because MacOS corrupted the drive checksum by writing exactly that file. Of course this can be circumvented by immediately removing the drive after setting it up, but also other USB drives get littered with this once you put them in.
