My girlfriends S4 is still on the october 2016 build. Would it be possible to dirty flash to the most recent version or is this not recommended? Thanks in advance!
Download STOCK KERNEL from romhut and flash it.
GT-I9505 on AOSP 6.0.1 (JDC)
When I flashed the build from March, The SDcard got a wierd mount name, some random letters. I unchecked then mount name separation in the sueprsu app, so I could access the contents. The problem was still that titanium backup could not read it's backup settings. I could read my backups but the settings of which titaniumbackup backs up for itself could not be read. I revered to my previous Lolipop ROM and everything worked okay.
I have never used marshmallow before, so no idea if this is a general problem with sdcards or not.
That weird name is normal. As far as I can remember, it's been in 7.1, 7.0 and 6.0. Also, if your backup folder for Titanium backup is on SDcard, you need to grant Titanium Backup special permission for writing access to that folder.
I am a newbie and maybe a little stupid
I get the message below when I try to install it, can anybody help me out?
Cheers
Upgrade TWRP. But why do you want to run an outdated ROM? JDCTeam just released Android 8.1 for the S4.I get the message below when I try to install it, can anybody help me out?
Marshmallow is a lot smoother than Nougat and above.Upgrade TWRP. But why do you want to run an outdated ROM? JDCTeam just released Android 8.1 for the S4.

About the suggested TWRP version: possibly. The latest version has better support for Android 8. JDCTeam does have an unofficial TWRP build for their Android 8.1 ROM, but with TWRP 3.2.1-0 released may no longer be necessary.
EDIT: I just realized I never actually answered your first question. If TWRP is packaged as a zip file, you should be able to simply reboot in recovery mode and install it using the existing version of TWRP. As you note however, your version of TWRP is newer. Replacing TWRP is no longer done through flashable zips: current versions of TWRP has an install routine for image files.

Well, for my opinion I think that @AntaresOne is going to the wrong direction of his ROM developing career and should turn around at the right direction, I think that @AntaresOne have made a wrong choice about making cm13 and a closed chapter(I don't care about optimized), the only way to fix this is by making at least cm13 an open chapter again(or optimized, its @AntaresOne choice)
