Hey guys i was wondering what was the best OS for a vmware malware lab so i can test any malware.
I'm not quite experienced with Ubuntu and Linux OS, i am currently using windows 10.
Why is it so bright here?

It does depend on the nature of the malware but generally speaking, you can use the Windows platform.
Whether It be memory analysis by performing a memory acquisition (dump) and analyzing the dump file for forensic artifacts, or using a behavioral approach by executing the malware (Infecting the VM) and analyzing It's effect(s) on the file system using various monitoring tools, Windows will suffice.
You can run simultaneous VMs- Windows & Linux to suit your needs.

Try FlareVM by FireEye or Cuckoo Sandbox.
