The current build in the community doesn't have OpenXR enabled in it, is there a reason for that?
The VR view inspection is an addon that comes with Arch build, but it's not working. Instead, a message about being built without OpenXR support pops up.
All it takes to enable this feature is having "WITH_XR_OPENXR=ON" at build time. I've tested this support with blender-git aur package and SteamVR and it works without any issues.
This task depends upon

@neothefox what package provided the XR_OPENXR_SDK when you built blender with OpenXR support?
Just enabling the option produced the following and the option was disabled:
-- Could NOT find XR_OPENXR_SDK (missing: XR_OPENXR_SDK_LOADER_LIBRARY XR_OPENXR_SDK_INCLUDE_DIR)
CMake Warning at build_files/cmake/platform/platform_unix.cmake:433 (message):
OpenXR-SDK not found, disabling WITH_XR_OPENXR

I just checked the cmake logs and turns out it looks for /usr/lib/libopenxr_loader.so, on my system, it is provided by openxr-loader-git. It's not in the repos yet, I don't remember installing it, probably got it as a dependency for another package.
