For post production mixing, no mixing board can really compete with a DAW. It's no slight on the board. Just wildly different scope. The board will be setup for 'meat n potatoes' live sound work. You COULD mix back on the board 'old school' to avoid the learning curve of the DAW. Some people do just that. IMHO the learning curve for the digital board would be greater and the workarounds for stuff that's easy in the DAW environment would be a PITA. Your greatest bang for the buck would be learning the DAW.
Now for live sound...
I've been using Reaper for that for the last 10 years myself. You know what though? Mixers like that X32 rack have me covered for what I do live. I like their OSC setup. If I was starting today, I might just go straight to that for live sound and just record with a computer. Still 100% using the DAW for everything post mixing and mastering though. I'll guess this board might be similarly convenient for live sound.
Re: clicks and pops
Board selected as the audio interface?
Sample rate set with intention?
Block size set with intention?
You're gonna want to read at least the 'getting started' bits on both Reaper DAW and that board. Those 3 things I just mentioned and the basic how to route audio from point A to B in both Reaper and that digital board.
