Are there any ways to contribute to FOSS developers other than paying? I would really like to help/contribute but unfortunately have no regular income so no way to do so monetarily.

@SeekPie Documentation or translation assistance is almost always a good way to help.

I'm quite new here. Are there any guides or something for that or it's different for every project?

@SeekPie Sometimes different, sometimes similar. Look into different software you enjoy using and find out what's needed. If it's something you can provide, and you feel like doing so, go fer it.

There are some themes that are common, but it is always best to look for a contribution guide, often distributed as CONTRIBUTING.md.
