Skyrim advice

Since summer is here, I decided to dust off my Xbox and buy a "new" game. I'm like two hours into the game and it has more info than I can process haha. So I guess I'm looking for any general tips like things to pick up, spells to use, recipes for potions, skills to upgrade, anything really

Giants are friendly, go right up to them and they drop all sorts of rare armor and weapons.
Joking,
. I haven't played Skyrim in over a year, and can't remember much, so I'm not much help with advice. Enjoy it, it's a blast. I wish I could play it for the first time again.
I will say, I liked using one-handed weapons, just because they're quicker. Not certain it was a good strategy. I'm not the best at it.

Ran into a giant earlier. With one hit I was sent 500 feet into the air at least. The game reset before I fell back to the ground. And yeah I'm using a mace right now (can't find a good sword) and a flame spell with my other hand

Just explore. The game is filled with so much. The visuals, music, and random events make for a great adventure. It's a grwat experience.

When I played through in 2011-2 you could max sneak by crouching and casting in the middle of a town.
They may have patched that. Been a while since I've played
I also played with one handed weapons, either dual wielding or uses the off hand to heal.
Enjoy the game

Best advice I can give when you're first starting off is don't pick up everything you see. It's tempting because you can, but it really isn't worth the hassle carrying it all back to a store to sell. You'll find plenty of gold.

Pick up all of the gold you find, of course. Pick up all of the jewelry you find. It's very light and you get a ton of gold for selling it.
I recommend you get the DLC's that were released for it, they're all a blast.
It's probably my favorite game of all time. I played it for longer than I've ever played another game and never got tired of it.

Level sneak all the way up. When you do so, you are unstoppable with a dagger. You'll be able to run up to someone in combat, hit crouch and attack right after each other. You'll disappear and then assassinate them 90% of the time. Very satisfying.
Easiest way to level up sneak is to go to the Greybeards, find one that is praying, crouch behind him and hit him with a dagger. There are plenty of videos on it.
End Result

I only bought Dragonborn and really loved it, although the one fight when you're riding the dragons either glitched out on me or I was doing it wrong, because I could never beat it.

Probably both, the skyrim game engine was clearly not optimized for riding dragons cause it was glitchy as hell

It had saved on one section of it after I had defeated 2 dragons, and I was flying all over the place seeing nothing to fight. The waypoint kept taking me to this floating platform but nothing would trigger when I'd land.

My advice is to restart as a wood elf, raise bow and sneak to max (There's a way to get an Ebony Bow early on), and at the very least get your fus ro and dah shouts minimum. That'll let you toss giants and send trolls off cliffs.

Once you have the hang of the game, crank the difficulty to max otherwise you will get a bit bored.
Even max is easy once you've leveled smithing, alchemy and enchanting to max because then you can essentially turn yourself into a god.
Having said that. It is possible the tweaked difficulty with patches so I don't know if that happened.

Go find a Frost troll and poke it with a stick...

Fus roh dah your horse off a mountain.
And anyone else for that matter.

I've been playing for a couple months now, taking my time exploring and just enjoying the overall scenery and scope of the Skyrim continent.
The easiest way to make money is to build up your alchemy skill by collecting as many ingredients as you can across the continent and experiment with them by tasting them and combining them at an alchemy station. Once you've tasted and experimented enough, you'll unlock most of the attributes for most ingredients and as your skill improves you will make stronger and more valuable (expensive) potions you can use or sell.
Also, I recommend leveling your smithing ability as often as you can to improve weapons and armor with better materials (glass, ebony etc.)

I played a Paladin type:
1h and Shield, Healing Magic, Alchemy, Smithing, Enchanting
I got to the point where I couldn't really be killed.
It was fun.
