I'm not sure what repository you used, but my version of QGIS 2.14 on 
Linux Mint is compiled against and running with GDAL 1.11.2. I used the 
qgis.org ubuntugis trusty main repo, with the ubuntugis unstable ppa.

It might help to remove GDAL and QGIS, do "sudo apt-get clean" to clear 
the cache, and reinstall with ubuntugis dependencies.

BTW the windows version of QGIS 2.14 already uses GDAL 2.0.2.
