Unity MonoBehaviour and Photon Confusion

I don't know how to program, but I'm trying to get an old Unity mobile game to run that seems to have used aspects of Photon.

using UnityEngine;

namespace Photon
{
    public class MonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
    {
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

namespace Photon
{
    public class MonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
    {
    }
}

This seems to be where most of the errors are coming from, and it's effecting code like:

using Photon;
using UnityEngine;

public class ShowInfoOfPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float CharacterSize;
    public Font font;
    public bool DisableOnOwnObjects;
}

using Photon;
using UnityEngine;

public class ShowInfoOfPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float CharacterSize;
    public Font font;
    public bool DisableOnOwnObjects;
}

Everything is either a Circular Base Class Dependency issue or an Ambiguous Reference in the monobehaviours.

is there a way I can edit the first one to specify that MonoBehaviour calls for PhotonMonoBehaviour? again I have NO programming knowledge

If you have no programming knowledge at all this seems like a non-starter of a conversation. Go through a basic tutorial like $helloworld first

Then when you know the basics of C#, come back to Unity.

hm I will probably not do this

why?

public class MonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour

public class MonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour

If you write this but have no idea what it does or why it's a circular reference, you're not going to make any progress.

I did not write this, sorry I have limited time, I still have to do my homework for classes and study my foreign language I will just do the things I can feasibly do, like try turning every MonoBehaviour into a PhotonMonoBehaviour and see what happens
