No way built-in to do this.

Could hack something in using the logical theme system though. If you're willing to attempt using this, and are ideally familiar with PHP, then I can provide some high-level guidance on approach if needed.

Yes please, I'm already using the logical theme system, so I am ready to hear your guidance !

Alright, so assuming "first connection" means first login, my thoughts would be like this:

Hook into the "web middleware after" event:

ed96aa820e/app/Theming/ThemeEvents.php (L113-L123)

Check if they're logged in and they don't have a specific flag via user settings.

Can access user settings via setting()->getForCurrentUser('setting_key_here')
Can check logged-in status via auth()->check().

If (2) is true: set a specific user settings flag and redirect them as required.

Can set user settings via setting()->putForCurrentUser('setting_key_here', 'value_here')
Can redirect via returning a redirect('path') call from the middleware event handler.

Could possibly be some funky edge cases from this, but that's where I'd start.
