Change default route after login, and/or after being authenticated

I will try and explain this as best as I can. I basically want to add a landing page to my website. If the user isnt already logged in, after logging in, he shall be redirected to the landing page instead of /app panel. Otherwise, if he is logged in, and he goes at any page on the panel, so /app/*, he should be redirected to the landing page. I only want this to be shown once, thats why I added an appropriate column to the users table. I tried doing this with middleware routes, however I had trouble finding out if the user is authinticated with Auth::check(). To me this seems more like a laravel question, than filament. Thats why im marking it as non-filamant. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you're doing some sort of "confirm that you've read the terms and conditions" or "welcome" splash page, that only displays the first time a person joins. The last time I did that I created a new middleware that fired after the Authenticate middleware, and made sure to include that middleware in the controller/s that the user was most likely to hit (in my case there were two possible dashboards, and even if somehow they went to a sub-page at some point, they'd be back to the dashboard at least once per "session", so they'd see the alert then even if it was a bit after they'd done something else .... I think that's slightly different than yours, but you could register the middleware on every controller (or Panel in Filament's case) ) The middleware would just check the flag field on the User record, and redirect to the page or just return the view. If this is all related to a Filament Panel, then you'd register the middleware in the Panel.

Can you perhaps share what you did please?

Can't find that project right now. But, here's one I hacked together using Laravel's RedirectIfAuthenticated ... it's almost entirely that middleware, with just a couple lines changed: 
<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class HijackToWelcome
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next
     */
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, string ...$guards): Response
    {
        $guards = empty($guards) ? [null] : $guards;

        foreach ($guards as $guard) {
            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

                // DEMO LOGIC HERE.
                // This is a terrible example, but saves me adding db fields for this demo
                // pick the current time's "seconds", and check whether the last digit is "less than 5"
                // so the redirect happens only on seconds 0,1,2,3,4 of every 10-second increment
                $seconds = date('s');
                if (substr($seconds, -1) < 5) return redirect('/admin/tech');
                // probably should check the current route and abort if we're already on the redirected page, so that it doesn't do an endless loop

            }
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}
<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class HijackToWelcome
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response)  $next
     */
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, string ...$guards): Response
    {
        $guards = empty($guards) ? [null] : $guards;

        foreach ($guards as $guard) {
            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

                // DEMO LOGIC HERE.
                // This is a terrible example, but saves me adding db fields for this demo
                // pick the current time's "seconds", and check whether the last digit is "less than 5"
                // so the redirect happens only on seconds 0,1,2,3,4 of every 10-second increment
                $seconds = date('s');
                if (substr($seconds, -1) < 5) return redirect('/admin/tech');
                // probably should check the current route and abort if we're already on the redirected page, so that it doesn't do an endless loop

            }
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}
then in my Panel, I added it to the existing list of middleware: 
            ->middleware([
                EncryptCookies::class,
                AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
                StartSession::class,
                AuthenticateSession::class,

                // added here:
                HijackToWelcome::class,

                ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
                VerifyCsrfToken::class,
                SubstituteBindings::class,
                DisableBladeIconComponents::class,
                DispatchServingFilamentEvent::class,
            ])
            ->authMiddleware([
                Authenticate::class,
            ])
            ->middleware([
                EncryptCookies::class,
                AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
                StartSession::class,
                AuthenticateSession::class,

                // added here:
                HijackToWelcome::class,

                ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
                VerifyCsrfToken::class,
                SubstituteBindings::class,
                DisableBladeIconComponents::class,
                DispatchServingFilamentEvent::class,
            ])
            ->authMiddleware([
                Authenticate::class,
            ])
