I'm trying to understand how Linux's desktop environments made and how they work but I can't know where exactly they're installed and can't find any answers on google search.

    Does this answer your question? [Where can I find the source code of Ubuntu?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/167468/where-can-i-find-the-source-code-of-ubuntu). GNOME and KDE are compromised of dozens of packages – Nmath Sep 23 '20 at 15:34

  • Just as you `apt install` to install binary packages, use the `apt` command to grab the source instead (or as well). The packages themselves control where they are placed on the file-system when expanded (look inside the packages). This is a Ubuntu (and *flavor*) support site though, not generic GNU/Linux (SE *Unix & Linux* is that). – guiverc Sep 23 '20 at 23:11
