See my write-up below on the SIP module loading problem.
I am no longer OK. Apparently the TimeShift back
only temporarily fixes the problem. So every plugin
available to me is this short list:

All I can figure is most QGIS users don't use plugins
(not likely) or this problem is affecting less than
10% of QGIS users. Otherwise I suspect this would be the
biggest issue discussed on the list. I don't even know
what to work on - QGIS or Python.
I am on QGIS version 3.14.16-Pi. I guess I will go forward -
to ver 3.16.0 at first, then backwards if necessary. I would
welcome a 3.16.0 user who does not have this problem to
state that on this list. I welcome any suggestions.
I am on Linux Mint 19.3.

I have been using QGIS a lot recently. All of a sudden
it gives "Couldn't load SIP module", which is a Python
problem with QGIS that has been around for many years.
I TimeShifted back about 3 days and the problem is solved
for now, but I just wanted to get this recorded.
Here are a few write-ups on the problem, some very recent:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/38310
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/30895
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/306595/qgis-3-4-couldnt-load-sip-module-python-support-will-be-disabled-on-windows-10
The error message I receive is:
Couldn't load SIP module.
Python support will be disabled.

Ignoring the error message allows QGIS to start, but then
you don't have the "Lat Lon Tools" plugin, and a few other things.
My Python versions appear to be ver 2.7, ver 3.6, ver 3.7.
Again, I am OK for now, but I hope this issue is resolved soon.
