Free and opensource DAWs: Ardour is the "standard" traditional DAW, but I recommend checking out Zrythm or Qtractor as you might prefer their workflows. Source: almost 2 years ago
With that money you could get: - Reaper ($60) - Renoise ($75) - Radium (Pay what you want) - Ardour (Pay what you want) - LMMS (Free) - Waveform (Free) - Qtractor (Free) (Linux only) (There are probably others, but I don't know everything lol). Source: about 2 years ago
Mixxx is excellent and has pretty wide hardware support. FYI the "limited" functionality of Rekordbox can be hardware unlocked with some Pioneer controllers. https://mixxx.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
There are quite a few DJs that use Ableton for DJing (or hybrid sets). Of course, Ableton wasn't made with DJing as its main function in mind but you totally can use it for that purpose and (with some tweaking) do everything and more that would be possible in a dedicated DJing software (like Traktor or Rekordbox or Mixxx).

I’ve used Mixxx a little bit and have been surprised how capable it is. It’s an open source project and is free to download: https://mixxx.org/. Source: 11 months ago
Mixxx (you already mentioned this; it's certainly a great piece of free software to test the DJ waters with and works with a lot of gear). Source: 12 months ago
Alternatively, you can also use Mixxx with the S4 MK2. Mixxx is free. But instead of a Traktor control vinyl record, you'd use Serato timecode instead, as stated in the docs. Source: 12 months ago
