Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following commands:
Install
dmg2img:sudo apt-get install dmg2imgBrowse the folder where the file is located:
cd PATH/TO/THE/FILENext convert the
.dmgto.img:dmg2img NAMEOFTHEFILE.dmg NAMEOFTHEFILE.imgCreate a directory to mount the image:
mkdir /media/imageRun the following:
sudo modprobe hfsplusMount the image:
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop NAMEOFTHEFILE.img/media/image
Download Brasero:
sudo apt-get install braseroCreate the
.isowith from the previously mounted.imgfollowing this guide.Open Brasero and burn the image (
.iso).
This is quite simple and you should get no troubles at all. Good luck.

You can convert any dmg to iso, according to this tutorial.
After that, you can handle the file like you are used to.

The ISO file that came out of my 4.7 GB DMG is too big to fit on a DVD, it's 5.1 GB now. – Aaron Franke Jul 27 '18 at 03:16
