I’m painting over dark paneling, should I apply primer first before I fill in the holes and groves or reverse?

I plan on deglossing first but I’ve been told to primer first so the joint compound will hold better. I then will apply a texture paint and then paint one more time with the final color. Does it matter if I prime first or fill holes and paneling groves first?
Some of you have mentioned how disastisfied you are with painting the paneling. But no one has mentioned using texture over the paneling? I was at Home Depot and they have a white BEHR texutred paint (smooth or sand) the looks outstanding when it’s applied with a roller. Has anyone used this product before?

This is the absolute best way to do it:
Fill in your grooves with joint compound.
Let it dry then get a wet rag and wipe away excess.
Buy a gallon of “Zinsser” Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer. It seals the paneling and primes it. It will help your paint stick.
After priming, wait at least a day then apply your paint!
No need to degloss at all.
