I prefer https://localsend.org/ nowadays. Nice cross-platform GUI, "just works". Requires being on the same lan, but discovery of other devices is automatic and there are no alphanumeric codes that have to be shared. It's a good QoL improvement to have "airdrop" between Android and Linux

The main reason one would use Magic Wormhole is that the devices do not need to be on the same LAN...

If two Magic Wormhole clients _are_ on the same LAN they should communicate directly that way (i.e. no relay required).

I've had better luck with https://drop.lol/ - it allows local discovery but can also share a link (drop.lol/XXXXX) to invite a device to the "network". There have been a number of times/networks local peer discovery doesn't work for me, but maybe that's because I haven't installed the localsend app.
