I use Reaper. I've been running since V4.6, now on V7. It comes with a good selection of plugins, is stingy with your computer resources and does most everything that the "big boys" do. It's well worth the $60 fee which would get you through V8.xx (which will be several years of updates). No "365" subscription crap to deal with and if you have more than one computer, you can have it on more than one. I have it on my laptop, the desktop machine with my audio interface, and on my email/banking/document computer.
