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

I used to, but once I got a server (my first server was just an old desktop) I moved everything running 24/7 to that. Why wouldn't I? Makes it easier to shut my desktop down and whatnot, plus I can get to whatever is running on other machines too (eg: laptop, and maybe phone/tablet?)
