@mcc Android is working toward a native terminal (cf., https://www.androidpolice.com/android-linux-terminal/), but pending that, Termux is only half-baked. However, there used to be an app called UserLAnd (cf., https://userland.tech/download/) that afforded users the ability to install full Linux distros, even with desktop environments. While it hasn't been updated in a minute, it still works! You might consider exploring UserLAnd, as you'd have more flexibility to do what you are asking.
