I managed to find a solution to your issue, here are my reproduction + solution steps:

1. I downloaded Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers (Version: 2019-06 (4.12.0)) to ensure I am getting the same error as you
   
2. Followed the official article to set up Liferay within Eclipse (https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017897772-Developing-Applications-with-Liferay-IDE) (the article is for 6.2 but the process has not changed)
3. I created an Eclipse workspace, and then a separate Liferay workspace within the Eclipse workspace (please note that both are needed)
   
4. Within Eclipse I switched to the Liferay perspectivate, and started to create a new Liferay Module Project Fragment
   Checkpoint: I could not select my runtime, just like you
   
5. I exited Eclipse, and visited the Liferay workspace directory
   
6. Within that directory, I opened the gradle.properties file and added this line:
   liferay.workspace.home.dir=/home/USER/stackoverflow/liferay-dxp-7.2.10-ga1
   
7. Re-started Eclipse and this time, the runtime was selected in the new project wizard window
   
   Hope this helps!
