Tiling Assistant might be worth a try. It can be configured to be pretty out of the way and just add more snapping sizes, different per-monitor if you need.

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesThis comment might come off a little off-topic but I think it's pretty related.
The Gnome Project has always struck me of having this Apple-Like attitude of "We know Best", and subsequently ignoring/shrugging off user concerns/issues/etc.
It's pretty obvious that Gnome is at the very least "inspired" by macOS. Heck Apple started version bumping by whole numbers at right about the same time Gnome switched from 3.x to 4x.
I use it on my Touchscreen Convertible Laptop (with Wayland), since it supports multi-touch gestures (on the touchpad too), and as long as I install extensions to bend Gnome to my will, it seems to work pretty darn well for me. (For example, adding window tiling with the https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant extension).
Perhaps there is a better way that I should switch too, but currently I remain ignorant.
