1: is there any way to make the tempo change during the song? Anyway to put a thingy down that instantly changes the BPM in the song? 2: what guitars can I get for free? 3: can I export a song I made as a MIDI file? 4: how do updates work? 5: how can I contribute to keeping the DAW free when I can’t code, and have little money?
Hi, I can answer the question about changing the tempo - yes, using the automation track. There's a good tutorial here https://youtu.be/BqfOJOOt3ok?feature=shared
It took me a bit of messing around to completely figure it out.

I really like the way this tutorial is, it's quite simple and focuses on informative content.

Your Qs:
1: is there any way to make the tempo change during the song / instantly changes the BPM ?
Yes use automation!
You can change BPM over time with a curve, or you can set the BPM time to be changed instantly

2: what guitars can I get for free?
That is not possible to answer. There are many plugins so you just have to google "Free VST Guitars", and be aware what you dl and from witch site!
3: can I export a song I made as a MIDI file?
You can, but atm it is difficult because you need to export each track one by one, and then reasample all of them in a program like Anvil-studio.
You find the MIDI-export in the File-menu
4: how do updates work?
The newest official version of LMMS is always available on LMMS.io, as Stable-release (atm 1.2.2)
Same site you find the current beta (atm 1.3) and the Nightly, witch should be considered buggy and never used for production.
https://lmms.io/download
Do not get LMMS from any other source than LMMS.io!

5: how can I contribute to keeping the DAW free when I can’t code, and have little money?
You can :
* share projects presets and your own made sound-files on LSP
https://lmms.io/lsp/
* Make tutorials
* Participate on Forum
* Make new Themes
* Translate LMMS if no translation is made in your language
