The wine-crossover cask was removed from the gcenx/wine tap and its release downloads are no longer hosted, so the documented install command fails. Recommend the WineHQ wine-stable cask instead, with a note on unquarantining the app since the builds are not notarized.

The macOS dependency instructions no longer work: the
wine-crossovercask was deleted from thegcenx/winetap (commit), and the release downloads it pointed to (Gcenx/winecxcrossover-wine-23.7.1-1) now return 404. Sobrew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossoverfails with "No casks found for wine-crossover".This updates the README to recommend the WineHQ
wine-stablecask instead, verified working on an Apple Silicon Mac (macOS 26, wine 11.0). Since the WineHQ builds are not notarized, Gatekeeper killswineon first launch until the app is unquarantined, so the existingxattrtip is kept and updated forWine Stable.app. Also linked Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds as a fallback, since Homebrew has deprecated thewine-stablecask (scheduled to be disabled 2026-09-01 for failing notarization checks).Same fix as SMGCommunity/Petari#1966 (the README sections were identical).
