Over the years, Apple has introduced a number of screens which appear the first time you log into a Mac. Among those which appear as of macOS Golden Gate 27.0 is the Liquid Glass screen, which allows you to adjust the Liquid Glass settings.

I have not found a way to suppress this screen using a defaults command, but it is possible to suppress the Liquid Glass screen on macOS Golden Gate using a configuration profile. For more details, please see below the jump.

The relevant preference domain and key values are below:

• Preference domain: com.apple.SetupAssistant.managed
• Key: SkipSetupItems
• Value: LiquidGlass

The profile is available on GitHub via the link below:
