Using Linux is definitely easier then windows. If you compiled mixxx and run it from the command line you are good to go. Assign one of the easy bugs to yourself and start hacking. If you have any questions just ask on the mailing list. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bugs?field.tag=easy As for Qt Creator I have no idea how that thing works. I use a heavily customized vim with some command line tools.
