Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I had trouble with HMR as well at the beginning, but since switching to sunaku's fork/PR I've almost eliminated all the issues I had with it. And worth mentioning is urob's timeless HMR config from which I think the fork/PR takes some of its inspiration.

Affirmative. I updated my fork and my clone last week. I also did a second, fresh clone and merged this PR: https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

Help with getting homerow modifiers up and running
Im guessing installing something like this is what i need to do? https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
I have a separate system for that as part of this old unreleased project. They're orthogonal so could be used together, but it'd be nicer if they were integrated. If you just want to remap buttons or map buttons to keys you can do that in the OS.

BATTLESHIP ERGO(but dumb?)
Well, things like Bilateral Combinations are aware of which hand is using the modifier to only apply it to the other side's presses & minimise accidental triggering on same-hand rolls.

Home-row mods - will I get used to it?

For sub-40% keyboards, home row mods like in Miryoku or a modifiers on layers like in Callum in combination with layers, combos etc. are necessary to fit all of the keys needed.

I’m confused about keyboard layout to choose
I'm pretty sure, that every sub 40% user has been there once. It's just so wild when you're new to it. Here's my overly long and boring take on the subject. My journey was building a handwired monoblock split I designed for having 6x4 halves with 3 additional keys in the middle - think preonic, but slightly angled halves with pinky columns staggered and 3 keys in the space between the halves. At first my layout was mimicking the regular 60%. I only used layers for numbers, symbols, f-keys and nav cluster. Pretty much like a 60% with a few thumb keys instead of big f***n' useless spacebar. I thought there's no way to comfortably use my keyboard without it. I used to press Control with the inside of my palm instead of contorting my pinky. It was... amazing! Compared to row staggered layout, the ergonomics we're f***ng stellar, man! Little did I know how much can be improved. I was using this layout for about 6 months before I decided to make any big changes. First thing was removing the keys I pressed with my palm. Once I moved heavily used mods to my thumbs, I felt like a superhuman. A bit of muscle memory fighting, but it felt really great not to move my hands towards the lower corners of the keyboard. Once my head started going on and on about the layout, about two weeks later went the number row. I put the numbers on the home row and still keep it that way. It was a huge leap, because it meant now I'm using layers so much more and we're getting into the so-called "minimal" territories. The last step for me was removing the outer pinky columns. I really didn't want to give up tab, backspace and shift on the left side, and I was really opposed to the idea of tap-dancing, combos and other stuff that turns my keyboard into an arcade game. I didn't want to perform an MK Fatality combo every time I need to close a tab in my browser, but what spoke to me was callum layout. No combos, no timing, no double-tapping. Just simple momentary toggle layers turned out to be just what I needed. I have a couple of additional keys, so I use one for mod layers. That way with 4-key thumb cluster I have all I need and so far I am happy. ...until the optimisation mania comes back.

Is there a way to customize the condition in which OSL key exit the target layer?
Have a look at Callum style layers https://github.com/callum-oakley/qmk_firmware/tree/master/users/callum

What are your thoughts on the miryoku layout?
one shot mods – ex. callum, seniply
- 36 keys layout
-
One button alt-tab?
Not without building it from source yourself. See https://github.com/callum-oakley/qmk_firmware/tree/master/users/callum for a fully baked implementation of what you want. Look at the "swapper" documentation and code.

Anyone use 34-keys without home row mods? I want to try a Ferris, but I do not like home row mods.
If not HRMs, how about Callum-style mods? Callum Oakley's keymap works with exactly 34 keys as it turns out.

QMK question
This feature is called Swapper and you can find a simple implementation here.

What are the famous layouts?
Miryoku relies on mod-tap, which some people aren't a fan of. The most common alternative approach are those systems that use sticky (OSM) keys, such as Callum or my own system, Seniply.
