I'd suggest to try Miryoku [1] on an ergonomic (split) keyboard running QMK, ZMK or KMK firmware. It's a very well though out layout using only 36 keys.

"Miryoku is an ergonomic, minimal, orthogonal, and universal keyboard layout."

Miryoku has a ton of great ideas. The biggest problem I assume is that switching to a standard keyboard, when you can't plug your own, becomes a pain. Same applies to the layout from the article, of course.

YMMV but I was surprised to find the opposite. Never been able to consistently touch-type properly before, learned it through switching to a corne with a miryoku-inspired layout and I now type better on the old laptop keyboard (which is not that often) than I did before.

You could try to use https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk from the same developer in order to run Miryoku on every keyboard.
