Having a termux-specific solution doesn't really sound ideal. What about
Lill Debbie (Debian bootstrapper)? Linux Deploy? Termius on iOS?
Are there another ways to detect a xdg-compliant runtime environment
apart from these environment variables, which are also applicable to
environments like Termux? If so we should apply something as general
as possible.
