MAC dual boot?

Since ive been using mac for awhile, i find it.. very extremely annoying.
So, ive decided to try to get dual boot to work on mac.
And guess what?
The only tool to resize the mac partition is bootcamp.
And bootcamp give me a error "Unable to partition due to unable to move files".
Ohh.. then what?
"Please use timemachine to backup your system and reformat"
WTF? oohh.. so it sounds like windows, but more suckier...
In windows, i could just use gdisk to resize the partition.
Okay fine, let me try backing up using timemachine.
Plugged my 1Tb external drive (with ntfs), and ops, i cannot write on it!
ok ok , use timemachine, select backup drive, select my external drive,,...
"Do you want to erase this partition and make as backup for timemachine"
WTF???
Can't you be more "smart" by proposing a repartitioning or any god damn idea to solve the damn issue?

....
So what now? buy a new external hdd just to run timemachine? yeah. yeah...

I rather have a new machine... its just infinite trouble, and always ended up with dead-end in MAC.
Way to go Apple!

-----------------

More updates!
Hmm.. i need to compare my files, to see what ive changed in different project.
Oh well, i go find for 1, hmm pay app, pay app and pay app.
Do i have to spent tons of $ to get things done here?
Ohh okay, lets try to find some free one..
Duh, this dont compare folder,
duh, this interface sucks...
Duh, traditional diff with -- ++? shesh...
Ohh shit, this states everything is different, why? cox of the \n vs \r\n.. shesh!
Ohh god, this doesnt allow right to left, only left to right? sucks!

On linux, meld works like a charm!
It even work for folder, god damn it!

-----------------------

Okay more...
Okay, i need web server,
Ohh.. i found MAMP for mac, okay, lets try it out..
Wow, /Applications/MAMP, cool..
Hmm.. ok i need virtual host...
let me try to configure this damn server with virtual host,
ooo , it starts.. lets try editing my host file, and see...
Wtf? Why am i getting the original root folder of the "default" domain instead of my root url?
Where did i went wrong? I've always got it running on ubuntu / centos / wamp server...
What now?? shesh! Okay okay, i will change the "default" to my domain folder, and it works.. wth??

More sucks things:
