Yea I’ve tried it but I struggled with its UI and it just wasn’t what I was looking for
If you struggled with the UI because you're familiar with Photoshop, you may want to have a look at PhotoGIMP.
Otherwise Photopea.com is a free online photoshop clone.
I could never get photogimp to work. Like literally it would appear to install OK but just nothing would happen, Couldn't figure it out.
Also holy crap Photopea is actually impressive I did not expect it to be that advanced. Thanks for sharing.
What are you looking for? If you are into painting, Krita might be worth a try.
I use Krita it’s a favorite of mine but I’m looking for photo editing more than anything
Well, for photo editing try Raw Therapee or Darktable!
I use Krita for infrequent no-stakes photo editing (and even pixel art at one point), might not be for everyone but there's a lot of overlap. Also you can use G'MIC with Krita, so that might help.
I used to use GIMP, but I prefer Krita now.
alternativeto.net Is a good place to look for software alternatives.
I was looking there this morning they’ve given me plenty of software I use but sadly not the photoshop alternate I’ve been looking for
Right but Photoshop has a horrible UI too. So maybe if you want similar features, you have to pay the price in time spent learning it.
Of course if you don't need the features, great. Update your post with what you actually want to do.

Photopea. There will barely be a learning curve because it's designed to be exactly like photoshop.
I use Affinity photo. Great program, and has a very affordable pay once model, no subscription crap.
Photopea -- online, but can be used as a PWA. One of the best! Answering here, as well. Saw your other post.
I'm quite fond of Paint.net on Windows, especially with the boltbait plugin pack.
It's powerful, easy to use and if it cannot do something, there are tons of user developed plugins.
How extensive of editing are we talking? If you just need some of the more basic features, there is Paint.NET which is surprisingly useful for a lot more than you'd think. Definitely not as feature-rich as Photoshop though.
Mostly basic stuff I am not really experienced in photo editing and I’m trying to practice and learn
