Trying to pin down the actual RAM ceiling on the 12th gen MS-01 before I buy.

Product page says DDR5-5200, up to 64GB, 2 slots. But in practice:

- 2×48GB (96GB) confirmed by multiple sources (ServeTheHome, VirtualizationHowto)

- 2×64GB (128GB) confirmed on the i9-13900H (Level1Techs, Crucial 2×64GB 5600, running Proxmox)

I can't find a single confirmation on the i5-12600H / i7-12700H / i9-12900H variants. Intel lists Alder Lake-P at 64GB max vs. higher on Raptor Lake-H, so this might be a genuine memory controller limit rather than a conservative spec.

Questions:

- Anyone running 2×64GB on a 12th gen MS-01? Which kit?

- If yes, what does the BIOS train it at? I've seen a 12600H owner report being stuck at 4800 regardless of module rating.

Does BIOS version matter here?

Thanks, trying to avoid buying a kit I'll have to return.

Hey everyone,

​I'm using Pi-hole as my main DNS server for my Tailnet, but I've run into an annoying issue: for some reason, the Tailscale IP address of the node running Pi-hole keeps changing randomly.

​Because the IP changes unexpectedly, my devices lose DNS resolution out of nowhere until I check the admin console and update my configuration.

​Context:

• Pi-hole is installed in the same LXC running my main Tailscale route node.

• ​The host machine has a static local IP on my LAN.

• ​There are no duplicate hostnames on my Tailnet.

​Has anyone else run into this issue?, What could cause a native Tailscale node to change its IP address like this?

​Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

I bought a System76 Lemur, and frankly, the hardware is a massive letdown. It feels incredibly "cheap" for the price point, and after living with it for six months, I’ve seen enough to know I’m not the only one. Between the flimsy chassis, the rattling bezels, and reports of hinges literally snapping off the lid, it feels like a device that’s held together by hope and prayer.

But the hardware isn't even the worst part. I couldn't stand Pop!_OS anymore. It’s an absolute disaster. It feels like the system tries to self-destruct every single time an update drops. It started with the trackpad just freezing, no movement at all, only clicks, forcing me to hard shutdown every time I needed to actually get work done. Then the whole system started locking up randomly. I’ve spent countless hours running Memtest86 for the RAM, smartctl for the disk, and stress-ng for the processor, and every single test came back completely clean. The hardware is fine. The OS is just rotting from the inside out.

Beyond the constant freezes, I’ve been dealing with proprietary firmware updates that refuse to install, wonky WiFi performance that drops at the worst times, and eGPU crashes that make this thing useless for actual professional work. And don't even get me started on their support. It used to be a reason to buy this brand, but now? It feels like you’re just talking to a script. You have to jump through ten hoops and basically argue with them just to get a human to acknowledge that their software is broken.

Last week, I finally had enough. I nuked Pop!_OS and installed Linux Mint, and honestly? It’s like night and day. Everything actually works. My trackpad is responsive, the system hasn't frozen once, and I don't feel like I'm constantly waiting for the next update to break my entire workflow. It’s stable, it’s snappy, and for the first time in six months, I feel like I have a reliable OS for my day to day work instead of a science experiment that crashes if I look at it wrong.

I’m really disappointed in this laptop and the brand. I wanted to love it, but I’m tired of paying a premium for a machine that forces me to be its full time IT support.

Thank you all for reading my rant and I hope this kind of feedbacks actually helps System76 understand they're doing something wrong.

FIX: my laptop is a System76 Lemur Pro
