Hello! I started growing an oak from an acorn last autumn and it has now begun its journey to a tree.

At first I didnt think of it as a bonsai candidate but have since fallen for this beautiful art and am now thinking that I might give it a chance. I realize I'm years away from even calling it a bonsai, but I'm guessing you guys still have some tips on how to give this little guy the best chance of becoming a bonsai later in life.

At the moment it's about 5 months old and I have it indoors in a relatively small pot with standard gardening soil. What is the next step and when should I take that step? Should I repot to a bigger pot with different substrate? Should it move outside?

Greatful for all your tips!

Oaks belong outdoors.
Plant it in your garden and let it grow for a couple of years until the trunk is big enough.
Meanwhile, take the time to study the subject. You've got lots of time.

Oaks are very slow growing, 10 years in the ground minimum

So if OP listened to the advice given, there are only 5 years left
