I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.

Everything I install and set up on a new MacBook as a web developer
I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.

Dynamouse: Mouse driver for big Mac studios
As others have mentioned, there's quite a few options, and I use mos (https://github.com/Caldis/Mos) for no particular reason. It does the same things as any of the alternatives, I just found it first and stuck with it since.

Mac Mouse Fix: Do the things you do on a trackpad. Without a trackpad

Not to take away from this app, but I’ve been using Mos (https://mos.caldis.me) for a couple of years now and it’s been just enough to mitigate the faults I had with default mouse settings in macOS.

Weird scroll wheel behavior.
You’ll need a mouse Utility to fix it. If it’s just scrolling, MOS does the job, and when you’re not gaming, gives you such a smooth scroll, it’ll feel better than sex.
