I was also a frequent Greyhound rider, mostly during and right after college (2000 - 2007 maybe). It was overall an awful experience, and in general took about 3x the time of driving a car. You do end up with about one crazy story per 8 hours travelled though.

Smoke breaks. I think a near majority of Greyhound riders smoke. And dang, Germans and French smoke way more than Americans - it's almost like they don't know or care that it'll kill you, and make you cough badly enough it sounds like you're dying. Somehow I kinda doubt it'll be any faster on a FlixBus.
Flixbus coaches do not do smoke breaks.
Well then it has the potential to be a buttton faster than Greyhound.
