The value of imports.ui.main.sessionMode.currentMode (ubuntu) is not the
login name, but the name of the ubuntu session.
I'm sorry to say it but the gjs guide is wrong in assuming that's always
the case as further sessions can be added.
However, you can definitely check whether the used session is an user
one by just ensuring:
imports.ui.main.sessionMode.currentMode === 'user' ||
imports.ui.main.sessionMode.parentMode === 'user'
As any custom session that is still an user session will have the
parentMode set.

Title:
GJS returns wrong session mode
Status in gjs package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
As stated in the documentation
(https://gjs.guide/extensions/topics/session-modes.html#example-
usage), when a user is logged in, the Shell is in the `user` mode. I
checked it on Fedora 36, and that's how it works.
But in Ubuntu, for some reason, `imports.ui.main.currentMode` returns
the login name of the current user instead of the `user` constant,
which breaks extensions that use it.
