After updating to QGIS 3.14 in Ubuntu 20.04, SAGA is not available. The Log Panel (View->Panels->Log Messages) said SAGA didn't load. In the Processing Toolbox, the SAGA category is missing.

In order to solve the problem I had to:
- Verify if SAGA is actually installed in the system with:
saga_cmd
It said SAGA was not installed.
- Install SAGA with:
sudo apt-get install saga
- Check it's version with:
saga_cmd
Answer was: "SAGA Version: 7.3.0"
- Edit the SagaAlgorithmProvider.py file:
sudo nano /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/processing/algs/saga/SagaAlgorithmProvider.py
- Replaced REQUIRED_VERSION = '2.3.' with REQUIRED_VERSION = '7.3.'
- Save file (Ctrl-O) and quit nano (Ctrl-X).
- Run QGIS 3.14
Now SAGA is available in the Processing Toolbox!!! When running and algorithm it says "SAGA version 7.3.0 is not officially supported - algorithms may encounter issues", yet I have not found any issues.
