The vast majority of stars will end up as white dwarfs. Stars need to be about 10 times the mass of the sun to undergo core collapse, and about 25 solar masses (or more, depending on composition) to form black holes.

Galaxies are loosely bound clouds of dust with a few stars here and there, relatively speaking; stars are dense roiling balls of plasma. Their dynamics are extremely different.

Stars can form quite quickly (relative to the age of the universe), possibly as early as 150 million years after the Big Bang. And the earliest massive stars would have had very short lifespans.
But I missed the point. Stars eventually wind up as black holes. So it stands to reason so would galaxies.
