I'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

If by wirelessly you mean via Wi-Fi network then one convenient option is qrcp. It generates a QR-code right in your terminal, which you can scan with a phone and send/receive files through a web interface on the URL it provides.
If you want to transfer files regularly, there is another option. Almost every distro has Python installed, and the Python has a "built-in" FTP server. You need to just
cdinto desired directory and run the commandpython -m pyftpdlib -w. It will open a FTP server with root in this directory. You then can access it through a file manager, like Material Files for example, and send files and folders back and forth. In Material Files you can save the server address for future use.Python having a built-in FTP server is amazing. Definitely gonna have to save your comment and try that.
Yeah, actually it also has a HTTP server, in case you need to transfer something big one way and don't want to bother with FTP connection
