First OT answer. If you can boot your macintosh, you can put image on it
somewhere, and just ckick or double click on it, macintosh will start what
necessary to upgrade or install. If mac does not boot, yoy can power it on
while holding two keys pressed: command + T . it will need network access,
and will go into recovery boot that in addition to some utilities will let
you install macos version the machine was sold with.

I burn disk images routinely on FreeBSD, but I am sure all the command
options are the same on linux:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/disk/image.iso
where /dev/dvd is device resembling your burner.
