The problem is when you "hover" the mouse pointer, the snap layout doesn't display. Discord should leave default Windows minimize and close window buttons as it. Telegram app have the option of "Use native window" on system integration section.

Yes please, this is super useful for big, high resolution screens to organize windows.

Yes this is a big issue for me too. To clarify why this is a big problem. I believe that Discord on windows is a python coded browser API so it completely ignores windows management as it is a self encapsulated application that does not depend on window's settings. But this is very bad for accessibility management because the discord window has a minimum size and does not resize certain frames to smaller size because of a minimum font size. There is a lot of wasted space in the API that needs to better address smaller window sizing especially for smaller resolutions such as 1080p. This might work fine in a 4k screen but still usually a 4k screen is large and when you use windows' scaling for larger screens so fonts aren't microscopic in 4k it scales it back up by 200-300% then the Discord window is still too big for minimum size. I know discord isn't interested in coding a more accessible language to windows' API accessibility design. For example... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/accessibility/designing-inclusive-software
One solution is to not use their Windows api and use web version and that will snap to windows sizes as normal browsers actually follow window's window sizing.

Workaround
You can also trigger the Windows 11 snap menu for the current active window by pressing Windows Key + Z.

That doesnt matter anyways I mean if the window is a certain minimum size because of the font size picked and I want to make it half the screen it will not snap that size even if I make the font smaller using settings in effort to make it fit half screen size on a 1080p screen. And even if i make the font smaller it is still too big and will not snap to the anything but the minimum size required to fit wasted space. This will make it overlap another window that is half size on the other size.
