Does anyone know of a good alternative to apple thunderbolt display? mostly interested in a monitor that can give the same port expansion as the thunderbolt display (extra USB ports, thunderbolt ports, etc...) 

One day I will be able to play Monster Hunter Frontier in French/Italian/English on my PC, it's just a matter of time... 4 5 6 7 8 9 12 years later: It's finally coming!!! I don't care anymore

Phones: iPhone 4S/SE | LG V10 | Lumia 920 | Samsung S24 Ultra

Laptops: Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2012) | Compaq Presario V6000

Other: Steam Deck

Oh. If I am correct, only Apple makes a Thunderbolt Display that has port expansions. You can use mini-Displayport with the Thunderbolt socket, and connect to monitors that way, but there are no other "Thunderbolt" port expanding monitors.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

You should check this monitor out. Has all the thunderbolt connections you'd need with multiple ports for daisy chaining.
