Depending on what OS you have (Linux is the Kernel), you can add many different desktop environments such as Gnome, KDE and XFCE.
The chances are your OS has a pre-defined list of repositories (a bit like a big book of sources). Your OS shall also have a package management software, for example in Debian it is apt.
Depending on these factors shall depend on what desktop environment you can install, find out your package manager, pick a desktop and check it's compatability and then do a quick google search. The chances are you can install it in a couple of commands.
