It does predate Linux but it's more complicated. Think about Linux Journal at the time as more "Linux newsletter". "The Web" was initially on OpenStep and commercial Unixes like HP-UX, Irix and SunOS.
It was becoming dominant at that time amidst its siblings like gopher, uucp, archie, netnews, etc but still was pretty new.
Here's a hype video from DEC about the web in early 1994 for example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-1l6aBgX5UY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-1l6aBgX5UY
That browser is NCSA mosaic btw and I presume that's running Tru64. 1994 was still very much the era of educating people, even professionals, about the WWW
