If I may ask, what VM are you using and what's the specs on the Host (physical) system on which the VM Is running on?
The specs of the laptop i use it are:
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
APPLE HDD ST750LM022 750 gb ( i will be upgrading to an SSD soon)
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
on macOS Sierra

Spoiler:
For the stuff you're doing (school work, light programming, and gaming ), all the Linux's will be pretty much the same except for looks.
Or he could dualboot Windows & Linux.

Conky is essentialy a system monitor for the linux desktops that you can use to monitor things like system performance and the temp of the motherboard and storage space etc but it is also highly custom so you can create your own themes and stuff which I love, unfortunatly it doesnt really work well with the Parrot Security OS at the moment though.
If you want to know more about it heres the GIT link to it: https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky

16GB of ram and It's lagging when running a VM?
If you're running simultaneous VMs, I can understand, but solely one VM with your current specs should function without any Issues whatsoever. That's provided there's no other resource-hungry applications active. How much memory have you allocated to the VM?

Not just that, but how else are your vm's configured? allocated or dynamic hdd? what video memory are you dedicating to them? what else is running? etc etc etc
