Do you have always running VMs on your workstation? If yes, what’s running on them? (alien.top)

To clarify I am not asking about a dedicated machine running something like Proxmox or Esxi. My question is about VMs running on your daily use machine on something like VirtualBox, VM ware fusion, parallels etc

My work-from-home workstation always has a VM or two running the test/dev environment for the tasks I'm working on at work. They are VBox instances provisioned/managed by Vagrant.

They are CentOS7 instances, each running a test database, usually a text editor, "tail -F" monitoring log output, and various daemons/services specific to my workplace's internal infrastructure. The host system is running Slackware 15.0.
