I switched to Linux (not arch btw) around the same time as joining Lemmy. And I've still not seen any trek apart from a couple of the movies, which I quite liked. We're contemplating starting at the very start
Starting from the beginning is the absolute best, in my opinion. The original series is so much fun, and as much as I love TNG and others, I know that nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had. It was prime time, mainstream, and riding the energy that the country had for space in the 1960s, with a message of hope and cooperation. That being said, prepare for a decent mix of goofiness too, lol.
That's part of the reason why I probably wouldn't recommend old trek first to somebody. We don't have the benefit of being able to go back to the cultural moment of the '60s Trek.
I compare it to how Wizard of Oz is a great movie, but you can't really experience the transition to color that happened in the movie the same way someone in 1939 did. Plenty of TV shows were still in black and white all the way into the '60s.
