So far Fedora, Ubuntu and their derivatives have the best support for my native language Urdu out of the box. others I have go by the complicated mess of broken fonts and I often copy fonts from Windows 11 into my Linux installation.
Urdu uses Perso-Arabic script but it is slightly different from the standard Perso-Arabic script used by Persian as it extends it to include the native sounds of Indo-Aryan langauges.. So yeah those extended alphabets end up getting broken or incomplete by default.
