Hello. Yes, it is possible to extract around 50GB from each partition and form a new one for Ubuntu without reformatting. You can keep the current OS X partitions intact and simply combine the data from both to create a larger partition for your new system.

On Windows, volumes can be reduced via Disk Management. Check if OS X offers a comparable feature in its disk management tool.

It’s possible to set up Ubuntu on a dual-boot system. You can install it on the new partition and let boot-camp detect it. For your eGPU setup, you might need to bypass the boot-camp choice when switching to Windows. Switching to OS X involves holding Option during boot, which gives you more control over the options. Similar steps can be taken for dual-boot configurations.
