Can't use ALT+right mouse button in Remmina to resize windows
I run Sway and use Remmina to remote to my Windows 10 machine at work. On my Windows 10 PC I have AltSnap installed so I can use ALT+left mouse to move the windows and ALT+right mouse to resize them.

How to make windows' borders 'magnetic' such they snap to each other?

I cant believe Microsoft hasn't improved these fundamental features over the last 5 years! Search/explorer still the same! (or worse)
For resizing you can try AltSnap (available through Scoop as well) - it mimics what's available by default in Gnome and some other DEs on GNU/Linux and it's pretty useful once you get used to it - you basically hold down a key while left/right clicking the mouse to move/resize a window that you point over (and all the precision you need is to point at one of the four quarters of the window).

Ctrl+C and right click+copy only work after 3 to 4 tries, any tips on what the reason is? is my windows' clipboard bugged?
I highly recommend you use a clipboard monitor. I use Ditto (download link, Windows store link). It can help diagnose problems like this by letting you see the contents of the clipboard (using <`> after copying something.
