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?. 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
