Do I need a transit visa for a layover in Finland while I have a Danish residence permit? [duplicate] - Brown Wooden Blocks on White Surface

I have a residence and work permit for Denmark and since I'm flying there for the first time, my passport has not been stamped. Do I need a transit visa if I'm travelling through Finland (since it's in Schengen area), if that is going to be my first port of entry?

Also, does the same apply for a layover in any other Schengen country?
